Today we woke up at 4:30 and got ready, grabbed our luggage and went downstairs to meet our taxi so that we could go to the airport. After a 30 minute drive we made it to the airport, where we were only 2 hours early, and the aiport was already quite packed. Thnkfully we managed […]

Today we woke up early and decided to go spend some more time with the rabbits before leaving, as we still had food to use and the bunnies were more active at that time. We got out of our room and found some bunnies and i tried puddling again with the rabbits, this time having […]

We got up at 7am today to check out and catch the Shinkansen train. We grabbed our essential bento boxes and arrived at the platform, with a full 45 minutes still to spare. I was tired and blamed Antoine for rushing us and not letting me sleep more this morning. He quickly went to get […]

There was one essential Japanese activity we hadn’t done yet on this trip, the onsen experience. Since traditional public onsens don’t allow mixed genders, we booked a private bath in Osaka. We went for the earliest slot at 9am, since we’re usually up around 7 anyway. We arrived just before opening and joined a queue […]

Today we had a lunch booked in Kobe to try the famous Kobe beef. We decided to have a chill morning until then, since we needed to rest more. After a bit of sleep and doing nothing for once, we left around 10:30am to drive to the restaurant. It was a small place run by […]

Today we woke up feeling much more refreshed than the day before, thanks to finally sleeping on a real bed. We picked up our box car from the hotel’s stacked garage system, which felt like a mini attraction on its own. The car would roll onto a platform, rotate automatically, and then go into the […]
1st April 2026
We woke up feeling quite tired, mostly because the futons were not very comfortable. But we couldn’t miss the traditional Japanese breakfast, which was included with our stay. When we checked in, the staff had given us yukatas, which are usually worn to the public bath, but everyone seemed to be wearing them around the […]

Today was our last day in Tokyo. To end it on a high note, we went go karting. Thanks to Antoine rushing us, we managed to leave our luggage at the station storage, grab my very necessary morning coffee, scout out bento boxes for later, and still make it to the go karting place on […]
30th March 2026
The Disney day had finally arrived. We got up early and aimed to be there by 8am, a full hour before opening, feeling quite confident with our planning. On the way there, the metro was so packed that staff were physically pushing people in to fit more. We thought we had just hit rush hour. […]
29th March 2026
Today we rented a car to drive to Mount Fuji. We booked the car near Shibuya so we could spend the evening there after returning it, very efficient planning on our part. We arrived and immediately found the famous Shibuya Crossing. It was still morning, so relatively less chaotic, but still full of tourists taking […]

We had an early morning flight to Tokyo today. We got up at 5:30am and made it to the airport by 6:30am thanks to my mom’s ride. We checked in and got through security very efficiently, on brand for Korea. We then headed to the duty free pickup counter to collect my new suitcases that […]

Our final day in Norway arrived. Since we hadn’t explored Trondheim much yesterday, we decided to do an express tour before heading to the airport. We got up early to squeeze in 1.5 hours to see the city. Our first stop was the old town bridge, lined with colourful houses along the river. The houses […]

Today was our last day on the cruise. We had to leave by 9:30am, so we woke up early to pack and grab our final breakfast on board. After eating, we took a few photos on the observation deck, saying goodbye to the boat that carried us all the way from Tromso to Trondheim while […]
7th December 2025
Our second morning on the cruise was wonderfully relaxing. We woke up late, had breakfast, lounged in bed updating the blog, and then wandered back out for lunch. Since all meals are included on this cruise, there’s no debate on restaurant decisions. You just walk to the restaurant and pick a dish. Easy peasy. At […]
6th December 2025
We woke up late today, still recovering from the 3am aurora wake-up call from the night before. But not too late, we still needed to make it to the dining area before breakfast ended. After eating and getting my mandatory morning coffee, we watched the sunrise from the observation deck. Even with our slow start, […]
5th December 2025
Today was our last day in Tromso. Since our cruise boarding wasn’t until midnight, we had the whole day free to explore the city. Until now, we’d mostly focused on activities outside the centre, so today felt like a good time to finally wander around Tromso itself. We started with a special lunch: reindeer hotdogs. […]
4th December 2025
We had a lazy morning because we went to bed around 4am after the long day before. Even though we woke up late, we still felt tired. We stayed in for a good old cup-noodle lunch and even squeezed in a post-lunch nap. It gets dark around 2pm here, so it felt like we’d stayed […]
3rd December 2025
Today was a big day with two long activities planned, each about 8–9 hours. Our first one was whale watching. We meant to get to the boat 30 minutes early, but thanks to my slow morning pace and a small parking hiccup, we arrived about 15 minutes early instead. By then, the boat was already […]
2nd December 2025
I usually get to the airport about 2.5 hours early for European trips, but Antoine insisted on 3 hours. In the sprit of compromise, we ended up arriving 3.5 hours early (actually because we didn’t have better things to do at home). The baggage drop wasn’t even open yet, so we grabbed a morning coffee, […]
7th January 2025
Today we had another day planned to explore Buenos Aires and we first decided to go to Recoleta the cemetery and visit it in the area. We walked around the many graves and tried to find the grave of a friend of my dad‘s father, but unfortunately he didn’t find anything after visiting the cemetery. […]

Today we woke up early and grab breakfast before it was time to go to the airport for the next leg of our journey. Unfortunately unlike our parents we didn’t have a direct flight to Buenos Aires and they said had to take a flight to Santiago and then wait there for a couple hours […]

Today after having grab breakfast, we decided to go shopping for snacks and walk to carefour to get some delicious passion fruit tea and then walked to a local restaurant, which was out of the way to try a choripan, a local Argentinian hotdog.

Today we got up at nine and enjoyed breakfast whilst planning what we would be doing today considering that most things are closed due to the fact that it was the 1st of January. We decided that it was worth going back to exactly where we had started to show the parents at Aconcagua because […]
