If Day One in Tokyo was a warm-up, Day Two was the main character energy we were waiting for. From ancient temples to fancy knives, from sushi so fresh it practically winked at us, to the sweet, sweet taste of ice-cream vengeance—Tokyo delivered. Hard. Senso-ji: Sensory Overload in the Best Possible Way We kicked offContinue reading “Tokyo Day Two: Senso-ji, Sushi Highs, Ice Cream Redemption & Ginza Glow-Ups”

From Fuji Sunrises to Tokyo Nights: A Day of Magic, Chaos & Oysters
Mt. Fuji at sunrise. A shrine wedding straight out of a romance drama. Shibuya Crossing madness. Sushi, souvenirs, palace guards, and the world’s most devastating ice-cream rejection. Oh—and oysters worth writing home about. This day in Tokyo had EVERYTHING. Come see how it all unfolded!
Kyoto to Mt. Fuji — The Long Road to Japan’s Iconic Peak
From Kyoto’s quiet charm to Mt. Fuji’s breathtaking beauty, this road trip was pure magic—complete with mountain views, crimson maples, and a 7-Eleven so good it made me question everything I thought I knew about convenience store food.
Day 2 in Kyoto: Golden Dreams, Whispering Floors & Endless Orange Arches
Day 2 reminded me that Kyoto isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience, one that stays with you long after you’ve left.
“You Gotta Get Out of Here… Sorry” — The Tagline We Didn’t Know We Needed
Osaka made me laugh. Nara made me bow. Kyoto made me breathe.
Jet Lag, Joy, and Japanese Toilets — a Love Story of Sorts
Six women. One city. Countless servings of takoyaki. Osaka was more than a destination—it was the start of rediscovering who I am (with a little help from my dear friend and a very advanced toilet)
Felicity Arvizu Takes On: Washington, D.C.
They say Washington, D.C. is the beating heart of American democracy. Personally, I’d say it’s more like a heartbeat monitor—beep… beep… pause… “oh, is this thing still on?” But after three days in the nation’s capital, I can confirm: it’s a city worth taking on, even if you nearly end up knocking on the WhiteContinue reading “Felicity Arvizu Takes On: Washington, D.C.”
Day 6: Nuuk’d Up- Wind, Whale Snacks, and a lot of Reindeer
If you had told me a few years ago that I’d spend a Wednesday afternoon eating whale jerky and shopping in the only mall in Greenland, I probably would’ve nodded politely and backed away slowly. And yet—here we are. Welcome to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland and the literal heartbeat of this icy island. Nuuk isContinue reading “Day 6: Nuuk’d Up- Wind, Whale Snacks, and a lot of Reindeer”
Day 5: Bugs, Glaciers, and Reindeer Spring Rolls- Paamuit, Greenland
Let’s get this out of the way: I didn’t expect Paamiut, Greenland, to be a top-tier travel day. But here we are. Day 5 of the cruise, and I’m officially obsessed—with the town, the ice, and yes… even the bugs (well, almost). Where Even Is Paamiut? Paamiut (pronounced bah-moot) is a small coastal town in southern Greenland, huggingContinue reading “Day 5: Bugs, Glaciers, and Reindeer Spring Rolls- Paamuit, Greenland”
Day 4- Tunnel Wars, Shark Snacks, and Seal Suits: The Battle of Ísafjörður vs. Bolungarvík
Today I found myself caught in the middle of an icy turf war between two towns on the edge of the world: Ísafjörður and Bolungarvík, two ruggedly charming fishing communities in Iceland’s Westfjords. Apparently, these two towns have a rivalry hotter than geothermal steam. There’s even a tunnel involved. But I’ll get to that. First—golf and immortality. Ísafjörður:Continue reading “Day 4- Tunnel Wars, Shark Snacks, and Seal Suits: The Battle of Ísafjörður vs. Bolungarvík”
