Travel: Osaka Snapshot
Osaka snapshot! Spending three nights, four days in Osaka is the perfect amount of time to visit this Japanese food haven. From ramen and soba, to takoyaki, this place has it all. One of the highlights on our trip was the teamLab botanical gardens – visiting a garden at night is super neat. Okay, let’s check out some photos of our time in Osaka. Osaka Snapshot First we have the botanical gardens – they’re full of light and life. Don’t mind the quality, it’s challenging…

Travel: Kyoto Snapshot
Kyoto snapshot! We just finished up four days in Kyoto and it’s a beautiful city – worth visiting. We spent time eating more ramen, hiking, checking out gardens, and seeing some sights. The city is far less busy than Tokyo (except for the main train station – Kyoto station), so the slower pace was a nice change. Okay, let’s check out some photos. Kyoto Snapshot After travelling on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto (only a little over 2 hours) we got some eats and…

Travel: Tokyo Snapshot
Tokyo Snapshot – yes, we’re in Japan travelling for a little under two weeks and here is a little peek into our time in Tokyo. From ramen to temples, and even some hikes, we most certainly had a good time! Okay, let’s check out some photos. Tokyo Snapshot Busy streets are filled with a whole lot of energy. From bright billboards to crowded crosswalks, this mega city is clearly go-go-go. On our first night we visited a few landmarks and took in some people watching…

Travel: Capricorn Caves
Capricorn Caves is one of the highlights of our four week, month long trip to Australia last year. The best part is that it wasn’t even on the list. If you know me, and my trip planning abilities, you know that things are often scheduled. I don’t like to leave too much unplanned since it feels like wasting time sitting around trying to figure out where to go, what to do, or when to eat. Plus, being a celiac makes things a little more challenging.…

Travel: Double Head Viewpoint
Double Head Viewpoint is an awesome little hike just outside of Kinka Beach in Queensland, Australia. It’s less than 45 minutes, and worth checking out.

Double Head Viewpoint First, watch out for snakes – you’ll see what I mean in a few photos. See – I…

Travel: Bluff Point
Bluff Point is a short drive from Kinka Beach in Queensland, Australia. It’s about a 2.5km hike and takes you up the small bluff for a stunning view. Check it out if you’re in the area! One of the best things about Bluff Point is you get an awesome look at Double Head Point – and vice versa, if you like Double Head. It’s neat to look back and think – we hiked up there, that’s high! Good times. Okay, let’s check out some photos.…

Travel: Cafe in Sarina
This cafe in Sarina is one of the best food experiences I’ve had! If you’re ever travelling south of Cape Hillsborough in Queensland, Australia, be sure to check out the Roots Collective – you’ll be happy you did! Okay – I found this place on Google Maps of all places. We were leaving Cape Hillsborough for Kinka Beach and needed a place to stop for lunch. After looking in Sarina, the halfway point, I stumbled across this sweet place – it wasn’t the Roots Collective,…
