Plan your Japan trip with Sequoia
Sequoia has spent decades traveling to Japan to visit family, and more recently diving into Mexico’s culinary scenes after a career opening restaurants. She now works as a conscious travel consultant and podcast host.
“I first began traveling as an infant and spent every summer of my childhood visiting my grandparents in Japan. I've lived in four countries and numerous cities since then, including Tokyo, Osaka, New York City, and Geneva. More recently, I came to love Mexico in adulthood and moved to Florida from New York to be closer to it.
As I've gotten older I savor traveling slower and repeated visits to one place. I enjoy traveling solo, with my husband, and with my mom. I especially love walking around a city or town, engaging in conversations with local baristas, and enjoying dishes from street food vendors or in elevated restaurants. I’m especially passionate about solo female travel, mother-daughter trips, culinary experiences, and coffee. ”
