Amsterdam in two days: Coffee, Flowers, Frittes and tunes!

Faine Bellord — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 22:17:23 +0000

I’ve been to Amsterdam about 5 or 6 times so far. It’s canals, liberal lifestyle, and a rich culture keep beckoning me back from across the North Sea. If you find yourself with just two days to explore this vibrant city, fear not! I was most recently there in June 2023 for just two days,…

A guide for visiting Ōkunoshima (Bunny Island)

I was lucky enough to kick off 2018 in another country – Japan! Japan has been on my bucket list since I became a little bit obsessed with manga and anime in my teens.
