Rising Sun to the Long White Cloud: Upcoming Reviews on You Are Travel

After putting the final touches on my three-week journey through Brazil, South Africa, and London (see the bottom of this article for all those reviews), I’ll begin recapping another stellar trip I took in 2024 - a tour of Japan, Australia, and New Zealand with a fun connection in Hong Kong.

Among the various factors that inspired this trip were the desire to finally visit Japan—outside of connecting through an airport—I’d never visited the country, and the desire to visit two world-class wine regions I’d long fancied—Australia’s Yarra Valley and the Central Otago of New Zealand’s South Island.

This was a three-week-long trip, so you can expect many great reviews covering luxury hotels, including the single best Marriott portfolio property I’ve ever visited, premium airport lounges, unique and quintessential dining experiences, and more.

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more!
