What’s good y’all? Oh man… it’s been a hot minute since I’ve thought about blogging forreal – it’s one of those things where I felt that this is the right time to put thoughts onto print, and it could not have come at a better time where I just came back from my second trip to Japan.
The first set of posts will pretty much be about that trip – not only will it talk about the usual – food, desserts, bullet train rides, scenery, food, the locals, food, more food (obviously eight different things right? haha), but also I’m going to get more into the little things that may get swept under the rug – the little stories that happen during the days, and just the memories and thoughts we feel and think about whether when we’re enjoying exploring a place that we’re unfamiliar with, or something you’re eating that just brings you back to a time where you feel carefree and without any immediate responsibilities and obligations to tend to.
It happens too often when I travel somewhere, and I just completely forget about these little stories and memories that I always wanted to remember and share – I did not make that same mistake this time with this most recent Japan trip. Being able to treasure these thoughts and things is what makes traveling such an invaluable experience. You’re probably thinking, “Well Kevin… what about culture? Isn’t traveling about experiencing, embracing different cultures, and learning from them?” Absolutely, which is why treasuring and remembering these little stories and interactions with the locals is so important to me. Embracing different cultures is already in my mind and heart by default – this is one of the beauties of traveling.
I know that talking about my traveling experience in such this manner may sound grandiose and unnecessary to some of you, but I just want to be able to share my traveling experience with y’all through my lens, in a genuine, upbeat and reflective spirit that embodies everything I am as a person. Also, it helps that I’ve gotten a lot of comments and requests from people about living vicariously through me through my Japan trip. Let’s do this.
Hope y’all enjoy, because I can’t wait to get started with this.
