Escapes Around The World 🌍

Get inspired by the list of destinations below, and contact me when you are ready to embark on an adventure around the world!

After a few initial posts about design, TEDx conferences and the like, the Elly Lakes project officially kicked off with the Inside Japan series (Exhibition, Living Tokyo!, Virtual Tours!), with which I started talking about my life experience in the Land of the Rising Sun.

But, since I have always been an avid traveler suffering from the so-called “Wanderlust”, I also wanted to share with you my “Escapes” to other countries. And that is why this page was born! I dedicate it to past and future explorations. Before discovering Japan in 2016, I mostly travelled to Africa, America, and Europe. After I started living in Japan, I travelled also around Asia and Oceania. My dream has always been to visit the entire world and help others do the same.

Once I started working as a Travel & Relocation Assistant for Elly Lakes, I made my dream come true, and I already helped many people achieving their travel and relocation dreams. You can read some of their reviews on the Elly’s Testimonials page.
