I live in a melting pot that is Hawaii, and the Japanese culture is largely included in the multicultural mix. It has always been a travel goal of mine to explore the origins of the food, people, history and culture that I experience on a daily basis. And what better way than flying to …

I visited Japan for the first time and didn’t eat any sushi! Well, I don’t particularly like to eat all the rice in sushi, but I love sashimi and I ate a lot of it. I chose Japan during Cherry Blossom (sakura) season because my mom had this on her bucket list. We decided …

Los Cabos is located on the southern tip of Baja California Sur, Mexico, and consists of two main travel destinations: Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. The two towns are about 40 minutes apart by car or taxi and offer different experiences in each location. When I used to think about Cabo, I’d …

Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida is the “Happiest Place on Earth,” filled with a million strollers and crying babies. I’m just kidding, of course (kind of). I was actually surprised to see many adults at the theme parks without kids, even couples getting married or on honeymoons. I guess it’s true, you’re never …

Our last stop on our Round The World trip was Seoul, South Korea, a modern city with old tradition intermingled sporadically. It’s a very clean and orderly place that I enjoyed visiting for the first time. By this time, we were exhausted from the rest of the trip, so it was good we booked …

Their industrial revolution is rapidly changing cities into major metropolises, with millions of residents flocking to those cities for better jobs. While China is still constricted politically, they are opening their borders to …

Our third stop on our Round The World trip was a new place that we hadn’t visited before. I chose Athens because of its history and culture, and more importantly I loved studying Greek mythology in school. It has been a dream of mine to walk where the Greek Gods once roamed the earth. …

I have been to Switzerland several times as I have family who live there, thus adding Zurich as our second stop on our Round The World trip was a no-brainer. It’s a beautiful country with scenic views of mountains, lakes and cows (who are constantly ringing their cow bells, but the noise is worth it …

Madrid is a fantastic city to visit, one of my favorites in fact, and the first stop on our Round The World trip. It’s rich in culture, history, and tradition, like my all-time favorite siesta (I do love a good nap, and believe me I napped 1-2 hours daily during my visit). There are …
