Based in World
As a full-time travel blogger, content creator, and writer, I'm the founder of The Navigatio, a platform dedicated to providing in-depth travel guides and tips, with a special focus on Japan. My journey began in a small village in the South of the Netherlands, but my passion for exploration led me to the UK at 18, where I earned a BA in English and Creative Writing from Manchester Metropolitan University. The Navigatio started during my second year of university. Initially, it was a general travel website, but it soon evolved into a space where I could share my love for Japan. My fascination with Japan started in childhood, fueled by countless hours watching Pokémon. After my first visit, I was completely captivated. Now, my husband and I spend several months each year exploring Japan, uncovering hidden gems and sharing them with our readers. I'm dedicated to keeping our guides updated with the latest travel news, information, and attractions. I combine my personal experiences with insights from local writers to provide the best insider tips for your next holiday. With The Navigatio, I aim to help over 90,000 travelers plan their dream trips to Japan. Beyond Japan, I'm passionate about helping others explore the world, find cheap hotels and flights, and make the most of their travel experiences. I've also contributed to platforms like Save the Student, offering advice on budgeting and earning money while traveling. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or planning your first adventure, I'm here to provide the resources and inspiration you need to create unforgettable memories.
