Snow Monkeys
I had a big day of travel as I made my way from Aomori to Nagano. I had booked a few nights in a Ryokan in Yamanouchi so that I could go see the snow monkeys at Jigokudani Yaen-koen. After arriving and checking in I went for a little walk to the kombini to grab...
VEGAN EATS: AOMORI
I didn't eat a lot out in Aomori prefecture, even though I was there for a few days. I actually just kept to konbini meals. This was a bit of a stay to try to catch up for a few days, save money, and not spend lots. It was nice to just chill out, I was meant to check...
Aomori
After checking out of my hotel I left my bags and went for a last little walk around before it was time to start catching trains. I just wandered around the side of town I hadn't ventured to so far. I had about an hour so it was nice to go for a bit of morning stroll....
VEGAN EATS: HOKKAIDO
It's been amazing to see just how many more vegan places there are in Japan now. Definitely a lot more options have appeared over the last 10 years. I managed to come across some great places in Hokkaido to eat, and also made do with konbini meals. LOHAS (SAPPORO)...
Asahikawa to Hakodate
Checking out the snow festivals was definitely one of the main reasons I visited Hokkaido, but there were a few other things I also wanted to check out. As I explored the snow festival in Asahikawa the day I arrived it really freed me up to go for a day trip the next...
Snow Festivals
I made my way to Haneda airport in Tokyo as I had decided to fly to Sapporo. It was all relatively easy and after arriving at New Chitose Airport, I just got the train to Sapporo. I then went to the taxi rank and got a taxi to my hotel. The way the taxi's line up in a...
VEGAN EATS: TOKYO
I had a kitchen while I stayed in Tokyo so I actually cooked a few meals for myself. Each day I started with a homemade cooked breakky. Besides that dealing with jet lag there were quite a few times I snacked and fell asleep without eating more proper meals. So I...
Tokyo Time
It was about 10pm when I arrived at my accomodation on the 1st of Feb. I had a good flight over from Europe and thoroughly enjoyed a shower upon my arrival. I tried to wind myself down and get some sleep but jet lag was definitely a thing. I had booked my first week...
Bye Europe
After arriving in Otočac I settled into living the quiet life for the next 6 weeks. I scheduled this stop into my trip to visit with family for Christmas and to just chill out for a bit. I am so grateful to my Teta for having created this space that I can use to just...
Croatia Round Two
It was so snowy in Warsaw, While waiting for my flight to Zagreb I just watched the guys on the ground who were driving on of the vehicles clearing the snow from the tarmac. They sure looked like they were having fun zooming all over the place and sliding about. Our...
VEGAN EATS: Germany
In the two weeks or so I was in Germany I got to try a few different places out. There are a couple that I just didn't take note of their names at the time. One of these was a great joint in Bochum where I had a lovely falafel burger. The other was a place in Hamburg...
Kiel Catchups
My train from Rostock to Kiel was running a little late and then there was a change of platform with my next train to Kiel. Unfortunately I missed that one, but luckily there was another train leaving soon so I rushed over to that platform and got on it. So I made it...
