About me! Good day, I'm Alun! Traveling has always been my biggest passion, and I've been exploring the world on solo trips for over 5 years now. My very first solo journey was to Japan; it was an extraordinary experience, especially considering that most people tend to start near their hometown. I work as a freelance itinerary planner, so I love to arrange any trips. For this, it won't be like a typical TripLeader role; I want to be more than that. I'll organize the perfect itinerary and join you on the adventure! But please! Do not think of me as a TripLeader; we're on this journey together! Instead, think of me as a "reliable friend" who will be there to support and assist you with every need during our journey together. I'm eager to share my love for travel and create an unforgettable experience for all of us!

Details about the accommodation: We'll talk about where to stay later. The trip includes the accommodation; budget-wise, I always have options like Airbnb, Hotel, or Hostel, based on your needs. Your preferences matter in this group trip! If you okay to share or you prefer private So, let's stay open to possibilities! Do you have a question about the trip? Let me know in the Q&A sectio!
