Happy Earth Day 🌎💚
More grateful than ever for this beautiful planet of ours. May we never take nature (and being outside!) for granted.

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 💛

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. ☔️ —
