Kanazawa Dreaming

I’ve been meaning to create a Kanazawa itinerary for the readers of Leave Your Daily Hell for a while—it just didn’t feel right until now.

We’ll all go back to Europe, one day—maybe sooner than we’re all expecting.

If you’re asking yourself this question, the answer is likely—but not definitely—yes.

Hiroshima is more than the city where the atomic bomb went off—all meaningful trips here begin and end with this premise.

The Red Lotus Sea deserves a spot on your bucket list—and a commitment from you to tick it off.

I wouldn’t recommend asking the question “is Koh Samet worth visiting?” in Bangkok circles, at least not polite ones.

Sukhothai feels deserted compared to Ayutthaya—and every other “lost city” I’ve visited in Southeast Asia.

Nakhon Si Thammarat is unpretentious, understated and, yes, unadulterated.

Thailand overwhelms me in all the best and worst ways—I apologize in advance if I’m unable to do the years I’ve spent here justice.

Vietnam’s largest cities are also similar when it comes to my own recent history in both.
