Hiroshima is about a 2 hour shinkansen bullet train ride away from Osaka. When I was planning my trip, I thought that I should go to Hiroshima so allocated more days in Osaka. I’m glad I just did a day trip from Osaka. Hiroshima is home now to about 2 million people which is a…

One of my favourite neighbourhoods in Seoul so far is Insadong. Located just about right in the middle of Seoul, this area contains traditional teahouses, crafts and craft products.

I have travelled alone internationally and domestically but the final frontier was to travel alone in my own state. This was accomplished a few weeks back.
