So – I have been nominated for another blogger award. Which of course is great news, and very kind. I have been nominated for the versatile blogger award. What’s that you ask? (and I quote) The Versatile Blogger Award is given from bloggers to other bloggers who they consider to have good quality writing, good photography, …
Flying in and out of airports across the world can feel kinda glamorous and exciting on your first big trip, but after you’ve taken so many flights, it can become routine, boring, or indeed tedious. Knowing you have to pass through this or that airport can be a source of relief if you know the …
Some places you go, you just enter and BANG! You are in love. When people go to Japan, I think it’s no big deal to skip Tokyo, or not to worry too much about Osaka, but you simply have to go to the place that won my heart in less than one of its beats …
