We were so happy to finally cross a country in Asia off our travel bucket list in the spring with our first trip to Japan! We knew Tokyo would be crowded, I was excited to get my hands on some souvenirs themed around my favorite anime, and we were so ready to eat everything in

We’re so excited to head off to Canada in a few weeks. I’m sure my Minnesota accent will make a strong reappearance after our time there! Though I have to confess, though I lived right below the Great White North, I’ve never ventured over the border… until now that is! We’ll be heading off to
