Planning China can feel overwhelming

Most first-time travellers feel unsure about:

• Which cities should you prioritise?

• Booking trains and transport

• Setting up apps and payments

• Avoiding common mistakes

• Travelling in China independently

You don’t need to figure it out alone.

Let's get started!

On my 1:1 planning calls, we solve all of this together.

You leave with:
✔ A clear, personalised route
✔ Confidence to book everything yourself
✔ Expert answers to your biggest questions

What Happens On The Call :

Step 1:

You tell me your trip dates, interests and concerns via questionnaire.

Step 2:

We map out your personalised route together.

Step 3:

You leave knowing exactly what to book and how.
