It's such a new venture for me & it sure pushes me out of my comfort zone, but it's also so rewarding to see how every single thing I learn helps improve my videos ✌️

Let me know what you think!

Fun fact: I did not realize how YT compresses the audio of videos, so the first upload of this video was rather interesting... whoops? 😅😂

But lesson learned (or at least I hope so) ✌️

My next Japan trip will so be a flying there with a suitcase in a suitcase trip 😂

Fill it up with cookies & Disneyland Tokyo popcorn buckets & then Yamato it to my final stop in Japan 😂

The box in the image is not the large box 🙈 that was the mid-trip box 🙈

But a metal box 👀 they did not have that one at the airport in Osaka 👀 I need it!

I was planning to focus on new countries too, but then old destinations pulled me back 🙈 but I have no regrets

let's see if I can throw some new countries into the mix later in the year

Love ishiya cookies - bought a large box before I flew home

I really should create a places I want to see in Japan list too 👀

Love that you want to head to Hokkaido! It always baffles me that so many people never even think of heading there when it's one of the most stunning parts of Japan

Highly recommend adding Akan Mashu to the Hokkaido list

5 weeks in 2026 sounds exciting! Where are you planning to go?

Hoping a return trip to Hokkaido will manifest itself later this year 🙈 I'd love to see more of that area of Japan

I'd love to explore more of Norway too! It's such an amazing country & I've seen so little of it

Wish I was there! It's so high on my list of things to do!

Time for another trip to Hokkaido 🙈

I didn't expect to love it this much, as heading to the islands was not my first choice when selecting my pre-summit adventure for the Adventure Travel World Summit in 2023, but it ended up being the best trip 🌿

great hikes, wildflowers & landscapes I would not have expected in North Japan 💚

I know, right? According to some sources, UNESCO even approved this, which makes is the biggest wth... it makes me beyond angry to see natural beauty destroyed like this

I am happy I skipped the Ba Na Hills because it means the company behind this destruction did not get a cent from me

I keep meaning to do this! Maybe I'll manage to do a weekend getaway to Malaga this year so I can finally cross it off my list
