My first book, Intrepid Japan, is part of a new travel book series by Australian publisher Hardie Grant in partnership with Intrepid Travel. Broadly, it is a cultural exploration of and love letter to Japan, covering everything from the Tokyo chefs pushing the boundaries of innovative cuisine to the rural regions lost in time that view tourism as the panacea to their economic-depopulation woes. It is Japan beyond the cliches, an attempt at interpretation, and a guide to the country that shaped the majority of my 20s.
Scheduled for publication in April 2025, you can pre-order it here.
