Katrina's best travel experience
Last Christmas I went to the northmost island of Japan and the birthplace of ramen, Hokkaido, with my family. Here we experienced the annual Hokkaido Snow Festival. It was a truly unique and authentic experience. I walked along the canal side of Otaru and enjoyed the views of snow-covered brick warehouses and Victorian-style streetlamps. The snowmen and candlelight made the streets so romantic! I was also able to find some time to relax and visit a local bar, Otaru Beer Otaru Warehouse No.1. We also rode the awesome cable car ride and saw the stunning night view from Mount Hakodate, which were very impressive. I cherish my memories in Hokkaido and can't wait for my next adventure.
Why is Katrina the right travel expert
I love Japan just as much as Japan loves adorable desserts, cute (and admittedly sometimes scary) mascots, and whacky inventions! I want you to love this amazing and quirky country just as much as I do.
I am a frequent traveler and I have many travel tips to share with you. No matter which travel style you want or what budget you have, I can always find the right itinerary for you. Please do not hesitate to contact me. I am more than happy to help.
