This one is a little short and wierdly edited (as most of my videos are) because the temples in Kyoto don’t really appreciated cameras as much as you and I. Since I spent pretty much my entire time in Kyoto in the temples, there’s not much footage. However, I thought I’d share a little.

Well, it’s my last few days in Tokyo. What a ride it has been. Call me sick, but I love the last few days of a trip the best. I’m excited to finally return home, I don’t want to leave, and I’m trying everything to relive my vacation one last time before I go. Because [...]

I didn’t plan on it, but four days in and I’m homesick. It’s my first time traveling so it shouldn’t be any surprise. If it’s your first time traveling internationally and you’re staying somewhere for more than a few days, plan for a day or two of homesickness. Also do not underestimate its effects: nausea, [...]
