Satoshi’s Travel Planning Qualifications

Experience level: Analyst

I've traveled through more than 50 countries across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, and I've done it at every budget. I backpacked through Southeast Asia on a few dollars a day, flown business class for work, planned multi-generation family trips, and booked luxury stays when the occasion called for it. I lived in Africa for three years, one in Eswatini and two in Zambia, and used that base to travel widely through southern and eastern Africa, including Seychelles and Madagascar. I spent two years at Blacklane, the premium chauffeur service for business travelers, running a region of the business, so I've also seen travel from the operator's side. I now live in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and travel around Asia regularly. What I offer is a plan built for how you actually travel. That starts with a conversation about your budget, your pace, who's coming with you, and what a great day on the road looks like for you. From there I'll build the route, the stops, and the practical details, and I'll tell you honestly what to skip. I also speak Mandarin and English natively, so I'm also useful if China or the Chinese-speaking world is on your list.
