On our second full day in Tokyo, we had a free day to run around as a family. And run around we did…
Welcome to Tokyo: Senso-Ji Temple
As we continued on our first full day in Tokyo, we headed to the Senso-Ji Temple: one of the oldest and most famous Buddhist temples in Japan.
Welcome to Tokyo: Meiji Jingu Shrine
After our travel-filled day in the air, our first full day in Tokyo was full of history, culture, and (of course) culture shock.

Some Exciting News…
In 104 days, my family and I are heading to…
Island Spotlight: Santorini
As the Digital Marketing Manager at Z SUPPLY, I sometimes get to write about my travel experiences (as well as interviews, clothing features, etc) for our website’s blog. Recently, they posted a Santorini spotlight, written by yours truly, which has been received very well. I wanted to share it with you here, but if you want to read the original, click here. Read on to find out quick tips and tricks for your next trip to Santorini!
Santorini: That’s A Wrap
Day 16 marked our last full day in Greece, and our last bit of time in Santorini. There was nothing planned for us on this day, so everyone in the group went their separate ways to get whatever they wanted to done. My mom and I decided to walk the trail from Fira to Oia since we had quite a bit of time before our flight (yes, FLIGHT!) back to Athens.
Santorini: Oia
It’s the blog you’ve all been waiting for: Oia! Oia is the picturesque town you see on every postcard, travel website, and Facebook post; Oia has whitewashed everything, blue tile everything, and quant, quiet (until the cruise ships come in) streets. Although we were only there for an afternoon, Oia was magical (it even made that ferry ride seem worth it).
Santorini: Fira
I know you’re all very excited to get to Oia, but stay with me through this short post about our day in Fira. It is mostly photos, so don’t worry – no history in this post!
Santorini: Akrotiri
After a very good nights sleep, we woke up ready to go on our first excursion, to the Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri. Akrotiri was destroyed in a volcanic explosion around 1627 BC, which buried the town completely in volcanic ash, preserving the town almost completely (think, Greek Pompeii, but much older).
