Recently, I have been hearing such amazing things about a certain place we are likely going to be moving to next. Raves about it being absolute paradise which got me thinking...what is paradise? It's rather subjective isn't it? Paradise to me is often not paradise to someone else. Just as "must see" things to one … Continue reading This Is Paradise?

Finally Fuji-San
This was not how I intended to meet Mt. Fuji. Two and a half years ago I had planned to hike to the summit of this iconic and beautiful World Heritage site at some point during our 3 years here.

Autumn Plans in the Making
My first job was at Karmelkorn, you know, the flavored popcorn place in the mall food court? I was 15 and the owner was the spouse of someone my Dad worked with.

3 Years And Half A World Away
Apparently, it was three years ago today that I started this blog. Three years!? Really, it doesn't seem that long.

The last tour we were on went to Nanadaru Hot Spring and Joren Waterfall. Joren Waterfall has quite a history, it was created by a volcanic eruption many lifetimes ago and is located on the Izu Peninsula.

In The Works!
We have been planning a few things for the next several months that I'm super excited about! 1. In October- the Boston concert! A list exists (in my head) of about 10 bands that I would love to see live before they retire into old age oblivion and Boston is one of them. Such an … Continue reading In The Works!
