Hi! I'm Thalita, a 31-year-old trip leader from Brazil, living in the UK for 21 years. 🌎 I've been passionate about Japan since my first visit in 2014. With a degree in Japanese Studies and fluency in Japanese, I'll be your perfect host, sharing my love for Japan 🇯🇵 and making sure we have an unforgettable New Year’s and Sanganichi celebration together! 🎉
Our trip features a mix of accommodations to give you a variety of authentic Japanese experiences. In Tokyo, we’ll stay in a lively hostel in Shinjuku 🏢, where everyone will share a room, perfect for bonding and experiencing the city's vibrant nightlife. In Kyoto, we’ll enjoy a traditional ryokan experience 🏯 with futons and a shared bathroom, staying near Kyoto Station for easy access to the city. We’ll have three cozy rooms, each shared between two people.
