Honestly, I am not quite sure if I preferred Japan in Spring ๐ŸŒธ or Fall ๐Ÿ‚ - both are amazing!

For our second trip to the country ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต, we went in late March and stayed until mid April. The weather was perfect - cold (but the nice kind), crisp and joyful. 

I also did not find the crowds overwhelming at this time - perhaps because cherry blossoms in the more famous cities were not in full bloom yet. We went to lesser-visited places and were rewarded with gorgeous scenery, cherry blossom bloom ๐Ÿ˜ and more!

Japan remains my favourite destination and it's a sentiment shared by many. I hope I get the chance to return again ๐Ÿ’™

January - especially the second week is such a fun travel time for me! I find lots of deals and in many places, the weather is still great - but the Christmas and New Year crowds have left!

This is your reminder to set some money aside for January - whether you're travelling or not!

Tag your travel buddy who needs this reminder before December spending gets wild ๐Ÿ’ธ

Set aside a small percent of your earnings in December. It makes January feel lighter and if you love to travel, January (after the first week) is almost always a good time to do so!

There are lots of deals, weather is great in many places and the crowds would start heading home!

Are you team January travel or no?
