New Year’s Resolutions are not a new tradition. They have been part of the New Year’s traditions for centuries, dating back to the Babylonians.

You might be wondering what happened to our Taiwan adventures (after all we’ve been back quite some time) but this time I have at least a (somewhat) good reason. The last weeks I was busy making my first steps as a freelancer. Even before coming to Japan, working as a freelancer here seemed to be…
I am so excited! I haven’t had a proper vacation in ages and I desperately want one. My husband pretty much felt the same and because he can’t take too much vacation at a time we decided to make a short-trip. My husband wanted to go somewhere outside of Japan, but with limited time we…

Here I am, at 3 in the morning and I can’t sleep anymore, but still feel quite rested after only 4,5 hours of sleep. Because I just love to take pictures of my food let’s take a quick look at the flight yesterday. Dinner came quite quickly after we started and I was really good,…
