  1. Hello,love your blog. Exploring the world is also an hobby for me. I couldn’t travel anywhere outside the country last year but i hope this year would be different. Keep up the good work!!! Also, which country in Europe would you recommend i travel first?

    1. Thank you Adewale. Well, the country depends on your preference. I loved Italy and would certainly recommend it, so you may want to consider that.

I love to hear from you, Leave a comment here!

How beautiful! 🥹🌸🍃

Japan in Sakura Season is absolutely stunning. I still can't believe we got to enjoy it without the overwhelming crowds.

If you're heading there in a few months, DO consider going off the beaten path. It is so so worth it, I promise you!

Here are alternative cities to consider for lighter crowds without missing out on the "Japan travel experience!"

Tokyo >>> Nagoya, Matsumoto, Fukuoka
Kyoto >>> Magome, Narai, Kanazawa, Kibune
Osaka >>> Okayama
Hakone, Fuji : Skip the day trip and stay overnight 

Comment "Sakura" and I'll share the link to my Japan Itinerary blog post to help you plan your trip easily!
