Oh, how we feel spoiled! For the first time we asked a travel agency to make bookings for our trip. The name: Asian Way of Life.
AWOL is an Dutch travel agency that organizes individual cycling holidays outside Europe (mostly Asia). They take care of the flight, the hotel at arrival and departure, Transfer from the airport to the hotel and have a cycling route planned for the country in question.
We had them planning both our flights to Seoul and from Osaka, but the eight weeks in the middle - meaning the route and the accommodations for the night - we take care of on our own. In South Korea we make partly use of their route, but in the reverse direction. And we don’t use their suggested étapes per day and accommodations. We like to see how far we can get and decide where and when we stop on each day and prefer camping (in the wild). In Japan we won’t make much use of any offerings of AWOL. We even depart from an airport that isn’t anywhere in their offerings. Yet they were kind enough to find any available options at no additional cost(!) to book a night in a Hotel and the flight home.
We only heard good things about this organization and we better off the when we had to do it ourselves.
With their help, our flight to Seoul went smooth!
