About Salie's Itinerary

Hey there! I'm a semi-retired software engineer who traded debugging code for travel. I split my time between Australia, Japan, Singapore and Korea, researching destinations and testing routes so you don't have to. I find the perfect balance between elevated travel and value, so you can enjoy it too.

I venture off the touristy trail to find less crowded places and do my part to combat overtourism in destinations like Japan. By visiting places others miss and testing routes myself, I help you discover authentic experiences away from the crowds.
