SCMagLev and Railway Park Museum I'm heading to Tokyo today! But first I have one more stop before leaving Nagoya and that's the SCMaglev and Railway Park. The railway park is a large museum detailing the history of Japanese railway history. Inside it houses trains from different generations along with train technologies over the years. Upon entering there is an impressive lobby that showcases...

Suzuka Circuit Another big reason for me to visit Nagoya is its proximity to Suzuka. Being a Formula One fan, one of my bucket list items is visiting all the tracks and Suzuka Circuit is one of them. After picking up some breakfast from a nearby convenience store, I head to the train station to head to Suzuka Circuit. Suzuka is about an hour train ride from Nagoya so with a late morning departure...

Lunch at Tevy's After another sleep in, I have another lazy start to the day. I'll be leaving Cambodia today heading to Nagoya. So part of today will be packing in anticipation of heading to the airport. In the late morning, I head out to Tevy's for a "breakfasty" meal. I really enjoyed my dinner at Tevy's, so a revisit is in order! This also didn't disappoint! I order some noodles in soup along...

It starts with a very quick hop from Vancouver to Seattle to overnight before an early morning flight to LA. I stay...

2024 isn't as big of a travel year as years past. This coincides with a small shift in my travel focus. At the end of 2023 I indicated that I wanted to take more trips with friends and family. I have been immensely fortunate to check off bucket list items over the years. For this year I wanted to intentionally focus on sharing experiences with others. So every trip this year, is with the...

Travelling Minions 2023, a Year in Review

ByTravelling Minion December 31, 2023 6 Comments
2023 seemingly feels like a bigger travel year than others in the past. While I didn't go on as many trips, the ones I did go on felt pretty grand and I'm not upset by it! Traditionally, I've tried to have one "big" trip and multiple smaller ones throughout the year. However, this year it feels reversed with multiple big trips and only a few smaller trips. Even with a pause in travel in order to...
