I’ll be honest— the night before I thought we were completely done with Boston; we’d seen the Boston Common, two of its most prestigious universities (Harvard and MIT, both of which are globally renowned), and the frighteningly vast skyline that towered over the New England coast. Turns out that before we left to head to …

Boston is known for a lot of things. It’s known for being a central part of early American History. It’s known for having some of the most legendary university names known to man. It’s known for historical architecture, food and drink, and walkable streets. Over the next two days, I’d discover why Boston was …

Day 1: “Chinatown” San Diego→ Nashville → Boston Yes, I’m aware that this new post is called “CANEDA”, not “CANADA”. That isn’t a typo. There will be some discussion of my travels to Canada in this next trip I’m documenting on “Inside A Wandering Mind”. That’s why it’s called CANEDA, after all, but when trying …

Exploring Shinjuku District Our hotel that we were staying in the previous few days is located in the Shinjuku District of the Tokyo City, but in those three days of exploring Tokyo we did not spend very much time actually looking around Shinjuku- we’d spend the first several hours of this day giving Shinjuku …

Visiting a Fish Market (And dying of heat stroke) So our first full day of exploring Tokyo was definitely something interesting- we visited the Japanese Burj Khalifa, saw a few religious sites, the biggest collection of mice and headphones on Earth (enough to give my little brother a run for his money). Can everything from …

Metro System + Imperial Palace Okay, so this is quite surprising, but I actually didn’t sleep for as long as you’d expect. I was losing it the night before – feeling like I might collapse on the floor because of sleep deprivation at any second- unable to process everything I was seeing, there was a …

LAX to Haneda The ten-hour flight across the Pacific had begun, and we were racing down the runway at a speed that continued to get faster and faster. I started to feel more gravity work on me, and pretty soon we were in the air, racing in the direction of the ocean. I could …

Before Leaving I am writing this part about an hour after returning from Japan: WOAH. That was a lot- it lasted only twelve days, but there’s so much to explore and see in Japan that it might as well have taken a few times longer. I have more than enough stories to tell here- I …

This is it. The Finale of VN2023, which took more than 20 days in the real world and about 10 months of writing to finish. We’re pretty much done with the travel now, so the last few days will only consist of hanging with relatives, maybe visiting one or two more attractions, hanging with Mia …

One last day of exploring the North… let’s make it count. Today, we were going to Ha Long Bay itself, taking a boat cruise out to see all the islands in the area. If you’ve never heard of Ha Long Bay, you’ve definitely seen some of the pictures that come with it: these stone islands …
