Shira-Ito Waterfall is one of the best waterfalls I’ve seen in Japan so far. It looks like it would belong in Croatia, with its 150m wide cascading waterfall that falls gracefully down the rocks and into the valley below. A beautiful set of falls that are absolutely worth visiting if you’re in the Fuji area, […]
Yuhino Waterfall Hike, Japan
Yuhino Waterfall is a surprising little gem that I didn’t expect to be as nice as it was, but that’s sometimes the beauty of not knowing! A small waterfall somewhat tucked away somewhere in Japan, this trail, and fall, feels like a tropical paradise. It wouldn’t be too far out of place in somewhere like […]
The Chureito Pagoda – Mt Fuji View
The Chureito Pagoda is one of the most iconic places in the whole of Japan, and rightly so. Perfectly perched high on the mountainside with an incredible view down towards Mt Fuji, this five-storied pagoda also has another secret weapon up its sleeve. During Cherry Blossom season, the entire surroundings of the Pagoda are cherry […]
The Weekly #024 – Heading to Japan
There comes a point where you make the same mistake more than once, it’s a choice, right? Well, there’s something I tend to do every time I am leaving for a new country, and that leaves my flight until the very last minute… …which usually means two things. – The cost of the flight doubles, […]
Queen’s/Navajo Loop in Bryce Canyon
By far the most impressive national park in Utah, and potentially the USA, is Bryce Canyon. With wild hoodoos, incredible red rock, and some wild formations unlike anywhere on this planet, Bryce Canyon is simply a must-visit. Not to mention it’s hundreds of trails, tracks, and miles you can hike and explore in and around […]
Toketee Falls Hike, Oregon USA
One of the most impressive waterfalls in the whole of my trip through the USA, you must visit Toketee Falls in Oregon. Not short of having a decent waterfall or two, Oregon really is a hiking and adventure haven, and if you’re heading to the PNW don’t forget to get your google map filled with […]
Umpqua Hot Springs Hike, Oregon
Want to visit some of the coolest, not literally, hot springs in Oregon? Umpqua Hot Springs is where you need to go. Be warned, there is a nudity scene here, but if don’t mind a few swinging pipes and a bush or two, then you’ll be golden. Actually, my first experience of hot springs outside […]
Mount Freemont Lookout Hike – Washington
Want one of the best views of Mt Rainier? The Mount Freemont Lookout hike is what you need to do, and it’s one of the more accessible hikes you can do to get an unobstructed and amazing view over one of my favourite mountains in the world. Mt Rainier National Park is home to one […]
Rattlesnake Ledge Hike, Washington
Rattlesnake Ledge in Washington is one of the most popular hikes in the area but for absolutely good reason. If you’re in and around Seattle, or Tacoma, and want incredible views without too much effort then make sure this is on your list. Can be done in a day, or a little bit quicker if […]
The Weekly #023 – Final Week in Korea
This week would see my final week in Korea, and goodbye to one of my favourite countries I’ve visited thus far. It’s hard to put a finger on why I’ve enjoyed it so much, but it’s unlike anywhere I have ever been before. I imagine Japan will have it’s similarities, but most people experience Japan […]
