Finally a chance to write about the time I left my car at Lara railway station for a few weeks and headed to India ;).

I remember walking around the Himalayas thinking 'what have I done'???

Such a silly decision but turned out OK in the end...

Writing all the Japan stories 🇯🇵 . I wanna go back already.

From wildlife spotting, to forests, white sandy beaches and soul food, there’s plenty to enjoy on this remote island in Japan’s southwest.

Was not expecting to hear salsa music at this Japanese distillery! Also for research, I had a sip of some strong spirits before noon.

Raise a toast to Japan's other national drink.
