Discover Japan

Japan. A land of history and tradition. A land of aesthetics and art. A land of technology and innovation. There is no denying the multi-facets of Japan and Japan destinations. 

With high mountains and volcanoes, incredibly beautiful temples and gardens as well as glass-covered, modern cities Japan is a true gem. It’s a destination that tends to impress almost everyone who steps foot in this well-rounded country. 

Bucket list experiences await you in Japan from eating sushi or ramen in world-class establishments, shooting past the Japanese Alps on the shinkansen or climbing Mt. Fuji for sunrise. You’ll also not want to miss staying in a traditional ryokan or traditional Japanese inn, wandering around the parks and gardens during sakura or cherry blossom season and visiting century-old temples in Kyoto. 

There are also plenty of chances to learn about Japanese aesthetics, philosophy and ikigai or fundamentals of living. 

For the wellness-focused traveller, spending time in the mountains is a must, breathing in the crisp mountain air and hiking from village to village taking in the incredible scenery. You’ll also want to absorb the onsen culture and bathe in the mineral-rich waters of a natural Japanese hot spring. 

Whichever places to go in Japan you might be looking for, be sure to inspire your travels to Japan with our Japan destinations guides. Find the most beautiful places in Japan and fill your itinerary with all the best places to visit in Japan.

The more I read about food, diet and health online, the more confused I get. ‘Experts’ pushing diets and programs that aren’t based on any kind of scientific evidence, fad diets, opinions and then there are all the ‘scientific’ articles to get through. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have ever launched yourself into this world, researching what might be best for your health (which I’m pretty sure you have) then you might have also been left feeling confused and demotivated. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel that every 10 minutes someone’s talking about the best new way to eat and stay healthy. Of course not all of it is fiction but going through it all and even absorbing it kinda feels like a full time job. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are a few things that have helped me however when it comes to this diet and wellness overwhelm and I wanted to share them with you today. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Firstly our diet and what we eat is very personal. No one will know more about what works for you than you so don’t take on diets and programs just because other people are trying them out. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Secondly, just like the fashion industry has trends, the world of wellness and food is also beginning to see these trends. In the last 15 years so many fad diets and trends have surfaced only to be deeply buried again a few years later. These trends are just businesses that earn individuals a lot of money so be weary of them. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trust what’s worked for humans for thousands of years. Before the invention of processed foods what did people eat? Just ask your grandparents what and how they ate. It’s this type of eating that has worked for human beings for thousands of years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If in doubt always circle back to natural, organic, fresh food that comes directly from the earth. ✨🙏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever felt overwhelmed when it comes to learning more about health and diet? What’s worked for you? 🙏🤗

Crisp winter walks in Alberobello. 

This is one of Puglia’s most visited towns, famous for its unique trullo architecture, these small dwellings go back centuries. 

I couldn’t help myself coming back in winter and exploring it all again. 

Have you heard about Alberobello? ✨

Welcome (back) to Puglia, Italy. 

So excited to be back in Puglia and making it my home base for the foreseeable future ✨ 

After visiting for the first time last year, I noticed there’s definitely something that keeps pulling me back here. I can’t wait to dive deep into some new projects here, both long and short term and take you all along with me. 

Being here in January can’t be more different compared to summer but I super impatient for more sun and to explore more.

Who has plans to visit the south of Italy in 2023?
