Popping in to say hi 👋🏻 it’s a strange time to be thinking about or advocating for travel. I’ll admit I’ve been more focused on things like the election and the effects of climate change and the coronavirus as of late. I don’t currently have any travel plans (!) but my heart goes out to everyone who has to cancel or reconsider upcoming trips. Gentle reminder that everyone has different considerations for why they do or do not travel, and when.
Here’s a soothing photo from beautiful Sicilia. 💛

Do you prefer spending time in cities or the countryside when exploring a country? For me this is an extra tough call in Japan. Hard not to see (very different) beauty in both 💛

Always love a Japanese garden 🌿 This one was especially lovely, even in winter.

If I have one tip for visiting Kyoto, it’s to make sure to stay in the city itself. Wander at times and into places overlooked by most.
It is tempting to stay in very nearby Osaka (which is a lot of fun, and can be cheaper) and/or stick to the well-defined tourist trail — but I’ve found that the off-peak hours offer the best experiences there. Unlike in most cities, for me it’s the quiet moments and peaceful respites that bring Kyoto to life.

Japan’s art and museums are consistently some of my favorites in the world. They even have an “art island” (Naoshima!)
Even if art isn’t at the top of your list while traveling, I highly suggest checking some out while in Japan. Anyone have a favorite there to share?

With its tidy streets, polite people, green spaces, and zen vibes, Japan must be one of the most pleasant places in the world to take a walk in the rain. ☔️ —

You often hear about Japan in the springtime and fall, but less is said about how magical the winter season is there ❄️ (but I thought you should know.)

If ever there were a reason to plan a trip to Japa

If ever there were a reason to plan a trip to Japan in winter (besides ramen, tea, hot sake, heated seats everywhere andddd very few tourist crowds, that is) it’s to soak in onsen hot springs — which do in fact feel all the more restorative after a day in the snow.
