We are happy to report that we had an amazing time and will definitely make another trip back. There were a few things we learned on our first visit and hope these tips will help when you make that first journey to London.
Read MoreWhen traveling from one destination to another it’s always a priority for us to have functional attire and luggage.

We specifically wanted to add a classic Boston Bag, a new toiletry bag, and a waist bag to our luggage collection.
Read MoreWe love afternoon tea. Anytime we get a chance to have some afternoon tea, we’re there. When we booked our trip to London, we knew we had to do afternoon tea in the country where this tradition was born. We found the perfect Science Afternoon Tea at The Drawing Rooms and immediately booked it.

We’re suckers for anything cute and Peggy Porschen definitely nails it. It’s one of the girliest cafes out there. Not only is their building adorable but their cupcakes are gorgeous.

There are several reasons why we love this bag and Pacsafe recently launched a mini version of this bag. Since we already love the original size, we wanted to compare the mini size to the larger one and give you some pros and cons to help you decide which bag best suits you.
Read MoreWe always like to do at least one quirky thing on our trips and when we stumbled upon ABQ London, we were immediately in! We’re both huge fans of the TV show, Breaking Bad, and this bar is based on that show where you can make your own cocktails in a more scientific way.
Read MoreWhen we booked our flights to London, we were excited to start planning our accommodations. We mix up our accommodations from Airbnb to hotels on our trips, but for our vacay in London we wanted to stay at the Kimpton Fitzroy.
Read MoreIf you’ve never been to a kaiten sushi restaurant because you don’t like sushi, don’t let the name fool you. Most of these places offer more than just sushi on the menu.
Read MoreOn our recent trip to London, we were introduced to a tour agency website called Hi, hi Guide. The name “Hi, hi” is quite catchy and the concept of the company is to book a private tour with a local in the destination you are traveling to. As soon as we saw the words “local” and “private”, we knew this was an experience we couldn’t pass up. We are all about finding hidden gems and it’s usually the locals that know where they are.

Read MoreIf you’re visiting Japan for the first time and think that most restaurants are all about sushi, you’re in for a big surprise. There is so much good food in Japan that sushi isn’t something we look forward to eating when we make our yearly visit home.
Read MoreWe were looking for places in Tokyo that was more low-key and not bombarded by tourists and stumbled upon a city called Yanaka, also known as Yanaka Cat Town, which is located in Nippori. It was a breath of fresh air stopping by here after being surrounded by an immense crowd at the Sensoji Temple in Asakusa.
Read MoreWe feel lucky that we grew up in Narita as it is home to a gorgeous Shinshoji Temple, so we rarely ventured out to other temples in Japan. This year, Crystal wanted to visit the famous Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, which is about an hour and a half away from our hometown.
Read MoreMiyoshiya is quite a hidden gem and it can easily be missed as it’s nestled in a small alleyway along Omotesando (表参道), a road that approaches a temple. The alleyway opens up to an intricate Japanese garden which instantly takes you back in time as it’s a stark contrast to the bustling streets.
Read MoreWhen we think of museums, we picture large white spaces with artwork hanging on the walls or sculptures in the middle of an open space. You stare at the piece, perhaps read the description, and then move on to the next piece of artwork. At teamLab Borderless, it is a completely different experience. It’s a group of digital artworks that creates a borderless world where you find yourself roaming around exploring for hours in awe.

My visit to Chip and Joanna’s empire in Waco, Texas with Kuma. Magnolia Market at the Silos is humungous and often referred to as the Disneyland of Fixer Upper fans. I can understand why they call it that now.
