INSPIRATION & EXPERT ADVICE FOR INDEPENDENT TRAVELLERS
Japan is a country I have wanted to visit ever since I was in the seventh grade. Learning about it in social studies class, I was fascinated by the history and culture, enamoured by its beauty. As intriguing as Japan was in textbooks, it was infinitely better in real life. Just one day into our...
