Soleil really took the time to hear what our heart’s desire were for our trip to Japan. Thank you Soleil, for your sensitivity, charm, attention to detail and professionalism. Soleil and her colleagues prompt d us every step of the way so we knew what was next in our itinerary, which was comforting.

In northern Okinawa Aoka created an oasis of calm. I have been reflecting on our time together particularly the discussion with the Shaman and our profound discussion of being in the moment, praying to our ancestors and reflections in the window of the villa. Fascinating how we are in the moment and at the same time our moments because our memories. Will always have fond memories of Aoka and the restorative, peaceful, nurturing time we spent together. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You🙏🏾 For the peace….

Thank you Ayumi for you patience and understanding with our late start. We really lucked out with having you as our guide; the sensitivity, creativity, and flexibility made our day with you serene. As a Mother you can understand how profound it is that Victoria wanted to hold hands with you. ❤️

I recommend and endorse KimKim wholeheartedly for your travel sojourns and expeditions.

Warm regards,
Dr and Mrs Bayley
