Born in Florida, based in Asia. I’m a surfer and motorcyclist who’s started my journey backpacking in Asia, then spent years living in Japan’s Hokuriku region, and now calls Da Nang home. I write first-hand guides to the places I actually ride, surf, and explore.
Deciding on Takayama? William, who lived in Hokuriku, breaks down how many days are truly worth your Japan trip, what to see, and what to skip.

One page with everything I wish I’d known before landing: getting a SIM, fair taxi and Grab prices, where to eat, how to rent a bike, and the stuff guidebooks skip. Plus weekly stories from the road across Japan and Vietnam.
