If you love to travel but most things make you nervous, this is the site for you.
On the outside, I may seem cool as a cucumber but most of the time, on the inside, I’m a cat hanging from the ceiling. I also happen to be an obsessive planner. On this website, I’ll share itineraries and chronicle my travels in hopes that my quirks will be to your benefit and help you with your own travel plans. Along the way I’ll rate things on a scaredy cat scale for the other Nervous Nellies out there.
If you’re not nervous, slow clap, great for you.
The next trip on the itinerary is a three-week odyssey across Japan and South Korea.

Fuji to Kyoto Transportation: Shinkansen bullet train Hotel: Dhawa Yura Kyoto Plans: At the moment, plans are to see some of the Fuji sites we missed then head to Kyoto in the afternoon.

Hakone & Mt. Fuji/Kawaguchiko Transportation: Eek. Still figuring this one out. There’s the way we should go and the way I want to go and they are definitely not the same. Hakone to Fuji is not one of my finer planning moments. This is the perfect example of how being a scaredy cat can alter Read more
