Hey fellow travelers, I’m Kelli, living my life to the fullest in Laguna Niguel, CA. For me, that means three things: incredible food, quality family time, and amazing adventures.

Why did I create Omotenashi Travel?

Ever since I was little, I have loved exploring and trying as many things as possible. I have been to 12 states and 19 countries. Of those, I was born and raised in California, worked in Munich, Germany for one year as an Au-Pair, and worked in Kumamoto, Japan for four years as an English teacher. Of course, whenever I was in a new place, I was traveling like crazy with a tight budget. I absolutely love finding hidden treasures whenever I’m planning trips and making sure I hit every trendy cafe and delicious local eateries. With all my travel experience, it seemed like the next step for me is to help others with their plans abroad. My hope is that I can help fellow travelers create beautiful memories, save money, and relax knowing their travel plans are in safe hands.
