Tokyo Day Two: Senso-ji, Sushi Highs, Ice Cream Redemption & Ginza Glow-Ups

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.

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 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”

From Turbulence to Tacos: How I Became a Reluctant Jetsetter with a Camping Habit

I used to be the kind of woman who clutched the armrests on airplanes like they were life preservers. Then life gave me a wake-up call in the form of heartbreak, loss, and a whole lot of therapy. Now? You’ll find me cruising the Caribbean with my sister, camping on California beaches with a questionable air mattress, or road-tripping solo just to eat tacos in a different zip code. This isn’t the life I planned—but it might just be the one I always needed.
