I worked for a big tour operator, in which the general idea was to take guests through minimum three countries, so they can compare differences in culture, architecture and experience different feelings on the trip they are a part of. I like that idea so much, that I’m kind a trying to force Dina to…

Valletta – Malta’s capital where one visit is not enough
Three years back Dina wanted to go to China, and we ended up in Japan. Then last summer we planned to see Portugal and a bit of Spain, but due to circumstances we ended up in Italy and Switzerland. This time is no different. We actually planned to go to Iceland, but after a thorough…
Things you should see in Ireland: County Sligo and Benbulbin
It’s been quite some time since we travelled anywhere for more than a few miles away from Dublin. We decided to use the August bank holiday to finally go somewhere we’ve never been so far, and to check how our new travel crew member handles these activities. We still had family visiting that morning, so…
The hot springs “Hells” of Beppu in Japan are the “coolest” hot springs in the world!
During our planning phase, when we (mostly Dina) were searching for things to see in Japan we found a photo of a dark orange bubbly hot spring somewhere in Japan that is called “Hells of Beppu”. As soon as I saw the photo I asked if we can fit it somehow into our schedule without…

Some of them might be travelling around often, and you have no clue what to get them since “they have it all” anyway. No worries, there are things that every traveller will…
Kyoto – The city of shrines, castles and beautiful parks in the summer heat
Three hours ride in Shinkansen brought us from Fujieda to Kyoto later in the afternoon. By the time we found local metro lines and our nice small apartment it got dark outside. As it was already dinner time, and our legs were well sore from yesterday’s descent from Mt. Fuji, we decided to take a…
Japan: Unforgettable visit to Fujieda Organic Tea Farm
Fujieda – Shizuoka, Organic tea gardens in Japan During our stay in Japan we organized (Dina) a visit to Shizuoka prefecture, to an organic tea farm in Fujieda. Fujieda is a small place south of Tokyo, with population of about 170k people. Our host Tamiko picked us up on the main train station in Fujieda,…
Katsushika – The home of manga cartoons that inspired the best football players in the world
We ended up in Katsushika accidentally, just because we found a cute place on AirBnb that looked like a traditional Japanese room. As usual we were persuaded by photos and a lot of 5 star reviews, and to tell you the truth when we visit Japan again we will look no further. We planned what…
Hot summer days in Tokyo, the biggest city on this planet
Euphoria started a few days before our trip, just as usual. We were to fly on Thursday, and I woke up at 5 AM on Monday morning. 😀 That was a good sign, my soul was ready to go. We found quite a good connection, through Frankfurt, with Lufthansa and ANA line. We needed some…
Climbing Mt. Fuji: How one dream came true :)
I’m not a 100% certain when and why I got interested in Japan, but there were a few brief contacts with Japan and Japanese culture when I was a kid that might be the root cause of it. When I was 12 or 13, my best friend’s father returned from Japan and he was talking…
How to prepare yourself for a trip across Japan and what to pack?
Well, almost every blogger has a packing list, which seems to be very popular and easy findable by search engines. Even though I’m not really a huge fan of these kind of posts a trip to Japan simply requires it. It is more as a reminder to myself and reference to compare with once we…
How to see the best of Malmo in one day?
I worked for a tour operator that had a general rule that the best trips are those that involve multiple countries. I tend to agree with it, as if you visit at least two countries in a short period of time you can easily compare differences between the two. Since Copenhagen and Malmo are nicely…
