Cate Füchter
Founder
Hi, I'm Cate. At Portrait Travel, I specialize in crafting personalized journeys. As a self-proclaimed 'travel geek,' I use my insider knowledge to suggest unique experiences you won’t find in the guidebooks, making your trip as distinctive as you are. My goal is to help you discover the magic of travel—whether that’s uncovering hidden gems or savoring life’s simple pleasures.
I’ve lived and worked in Japan and China, and traveled both countries extensively. After enjoying more sushi, gyoza, and noodle stew than any gourmand would consider reasonable, I returned to the UK to pursue a rewarding career in travel. I began by designing tailor-made itineraries for the Far East, and over the years, my expertise has expanded to include skiing adventures across Europe, North America, and Japan, as well as bespoke escapes from honeymoons to family holidays.
From exploring bustling markets in Asia to soaking in natural hot springs or carving fresh tracks on powdery slopes, I’ve experienced the magic of travel first-hand. Now, I’m here to help you find that same magic, whether you’re discovering new destinations or indulging in life’s simple pleasures abroad.
Let’s turn your travel aspirations into reality with thoughtful, personalized service every step of the way.
