I wanted to share some of my favorite fall pictures from this year. I love fall, it’s my favorite season. It’s so cozy when the weather starts to cool down and we move into “sit on the couch curled up in a warm blanket with a cup of tea” vibes. Can’t forget my cat Miles…

Telluride
We spent our 37th birthday this year adventuring around the Telluride area in Colorado with stops at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and Ouray.

What I ate in Japan
Many people travel to Japan solely for the food. The first time I traveled there in 2022, I tried to stick to a close vegetarian diet, which was really hard. I was surprised by how meat-centric the meals were. Then I found out that most of the soup stock had either fish sauce or was…
Landscape Photos from Japan
I took several landscape photos from the trip that I wanted to share here. I would love to frame some of these! Especially the ones in the gardens. So idyllic and picturesque. Kyoto Kyoto Imperial Palace Tenryu-ji Temple Tokyo Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden Ueno Park Kinosaki
Exploring Japan: Tokyo, Kyoto, and Kinosaki Highlights
I visited three cities during my trip to Japan this past spring: Tokyo, Kyoto, and Kinosaki. I’ve been to Tokyo and Kyoto before, but Kinosaki was a new destination for me. In terms of size, Tokyo is the largest city in the world with a population of 37 million people! Hard to imagine. Kyoto is…
Japan Spring Flowers

Some are wild to the forests of Japan, but most have been cultivated for decorative use in parks and gardens around the country. I started to notice there were different varieties when I was taking close-up photos of the…
Navigating Cherry Blossom Season in Japan
Hello! So I’m finally getting around to sorting through my Japan pictures from March. I thought my first post should be a little intro into the timing of cherry blossom season, which is the most popular time to visit Japan. It’s hard to get the timing right on a trip to Japan during cherry blossom…
Australia 2025
I was lucky enough to head back to Australia this year for my friend Clare’s wedding in March. I was only able to get 2 weeks off work. So I spent the first week in Australia and then I headed to Japan for my second week to see cherry blossom season with my brother. Not…
Scotland 2024
After spending a few days in London we took the train up to Edinburgh for the weekend. It’s about a 4.5 hour train ride if you take the quickest route so not too bad. It was our first time in Scotland and we loved it. Personally I liked the architecture. You can really feel the…
London 2024
Late to post per usual, but Joe and I decided to take a trip to London and Scotland during Thanksgiving week last year. I’ve been to London a few times and it’s one of my favorite big cities. This was Joe’s first time there so I was excited to show him around and do all…
