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...
A Rowe in Rostock
After checking out in the morning I headed to the central Hamburg train station to catch a train to Rostock. I had a little bit of time to wait at the station so I checked out the shops and I had a bite to eat before boarding. Originally I was heading to Rostock to...
History in Hamburg
On Friday morning I made my way from Bochum back to Hagen to catch a train to Hamburg. After spending the last two weeks with people I was back to real solo travelling. It was evening by the time I arrived in Hamburg and made my way to my hotel. I checked in and then...
Just a Train Ride Away
I spotted a few panel pieces on the trains at the station as I waited for my trains to arrive. First I went from Zaandam to Amsterdam and then changed for the train I was taking to Germany. This was my first border crossing train. It was nice getting to just sit,...
VEGAN EATS: Netherlands
There was more eating in during my week in the Netherlands, than out. My time here was mostly spent visiting Amsterdam as I was staying in Zaandam. However I did get to sample some good foods and I will happily share what I can with you. I can't even actually share...
Art & Ageing
On Friday morning I got up and headed into Amsterdam for a tip-based walking tour. It was a good start to the day and gave me a bunch of info I didn't really know about Amsterdam and the Netherlands. It wasn't a tour full of too many dates and names, instead it...
