Mini bio
How it started.
Allan created his YouTube channel in October 2013. His first upload followed in September 2017: a Bali guide for first-time visitors. Travel guides became the thread running through his work, with videos built around places he had explored himself.
Sharing the route.
His early Japan writing grew out of a summer 2018 trip to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Nara. He wrote the guide to help other first-time visitors spend less time researching, pairing the route with accommodation ideas and places to eat.
A trip fans keep returning to.
His 2021 film How to Spend 14 Days in Japan became his most-watched video, with more than 13 million views in the sources checked. It follows a route through Osaka, Koyasan, Nara, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Takayama and Tokyo, ending with a budget breakdown.
Beyond the city.
Allan also makes hiking and road trip guides. His Iceland work includes the Laugavegur Trail and a fourteen-day road trip, while his website carries a detailed account of hiking the Alta Via 1 in Italy’s Dolomites. He publishes companion travel guides through his own shop.
