The last post ended with us visiting some cute coastal towns along the Atlantic Ocean in the Mid Atlantic USA. This post continues with our drive. After a sleepover in Chincoteague and Virginia Beach we headed inland into Virginia, where more cute little towns waited for us. The best one was Williamsburg and I decided to dedicate this part mostly...

During our stay in Osaka we made a day trip to Nara. Famous for its hundreds of deer roaming around a large park within the city, beautiful Japanese zen gardens and ancient shrines that date back to when Nara was Japan’s first capital city – this city shouldn’t be missed when visiting Japan. Located only a short train ride from...

It’s well known that Copenhagen is not the top of a backpacker’s list, as stories about its high prices have spread among travellers all over the world. It cannot be denied, Copenhagen is expensive, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t discover the city’s sights, eats and drinks on a budget. You only have to know the right places. Of...

A visit to Kyoto wouldn’t be complete without seeing the amazing Arashiyama Bamboo Grove.

In a lot of ways the Danes live a superior quality of life than other countries so whether you enjoy food, design, architecture or culture, there is lots to be impressed by. We spent a...

To attempt to write about Kyoto in one post would be a huge undertaking and I don’t think I would ever get it right. So I decided to break down Kyoto by attractions, and in this post I want to focus on the most prominent one in Kyoto: the temples. Kyoto was once the capital of Japan and it’s famous...

Seeing Mount Fuji was one of the things on my wish list since day one of planing. It’s an ever eluding sight that sometimes greets visitors, but often times is hidden away behind clouds. In fact, during our two day stay in Hakone we would see all versions of Mountain Fuji (except the lava spouting one). Hakone, which is located...

Traveling to Japan from Bosnia and Herzegovina takes some time, but it’s not as complicated as I thought it would be. It only takes one layover in Istanbul and in a “short” 15 hours travel time you are there. There is a lot to do before you get there though. Japan has only recently gotten out of lockdown so everybody...
