We have heard of cat cafes and dog cafes, but what about owl cafes?! Yep, I had never heard of it either and thanks to my good friend Pete at WanderPi.com I became well informed that one DID in fact exist in Tokyo! The minute I found out, I knew this…
In my version of #ThrowbackThursday called #MondayMemories, here is a memory from way back to spring 2010 when I studied in Paris. For spring break some friends and I planned a trip to Greece and Italy. Unfortunately that stupid Iceland volcano Eyjaflllakdlekjgergkjregnkjegnkj (not real name) erupted and squashed my only…

My computer is finally back from being repaired, which means a new post for the segment #ErinDoesJapan! This time I am taking you to Nara, the once short-lived capital of Japan. As mentioned before, I was traveling throughout Japan with my good friend Emiko, who happened to have many friends…

In the segment of #ErinDoesJapan I am going to give you just a few small tips on how to maximize your trip to Japan so you can see as many places as you want, especially during cherry blossom season! Over the Easter holidays, my friend Emiko and I, went to Japan…
When organizing our trip to Japan, there were three things I told my friend Emiko that I wanted to do: See the cherry blossoms. This was the main reason I was going at this time (end of March-April) so this was an automatic MUST. I really, really, really wanted to…
Continuing on with #ErinDoesJapan, I should talk about something that is a huge part of the Japanese culture: cherry blossoms, or sakura as they are known in Japan. I probably should have added this to my Japanese Stereotypes post, but the Japanese are OBSESSED with cherry blossoms! I mean, they have countdowns…
I am just a girl wandering the world, wondering with each step... lived abroad for over four years and still trying to take on the world one place at a time.[instagram-feed]
