  • NICE MINI GUIDE 🇫🇷🌊✨ some of our favourite experiences from last month in this charming town on the French Riviera! WHAT TO DO ☕️ stroll through Old Town: beautiful alleyways with charming shops + bars (pass by Palais du Justice, Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate de Nice, Église Sainte Rita for photos) 🏖️ Ruhl Plage: picturesque beach club with striped umbrellas + chairs (but the free beach immediately beside it works just as well for a quick dip!!) 🪴 Jardin Albert 1er: leafy park separating central Nice from the Old Town 📸 Colline du Château: elevated park on the headland with excellent views of the coastline 🚃 day trip to Eze + Monaco: both can be done in a single day with public transport or inexpensive Ubers! WHERE TO EAT/DRINK 🧀 La Cave du Fromager: fondue/cheese restaurant located in a wine cellar in Old Nice, beautiful and amazing food! 🦆 La Route du Miam: intimate 6-table restaurant serving legendary duck— the menu is bascially 3 options, but the duck-fat potatoes are mind-blowing, the wine selection is excellent, and the owners are impossibly charismatic (expect to leave with multiple kisses) 🍨 Finoccio: local-fave ice creamery with endless flavours ☕️ La Claque: small cafe with excellent coffee, matcha, kombucha etc 🍷 La Treille Bar à Vin: natural wine + small plates with charming outdoor seating 🍸 Soho: trendy bar with a good value happy hour 5-8pm
  • paris on (fuji)film 🇫🇷🥐🧀✨ we’d originally planned to spend June climbing in the French + Swiss Alps… but after I had knee surgery at the end of April, we had to pivot to something a little more recovery-friendly. so we changed our flights from Geneva to Paris and instead spent a couple weeks sipping cocktails, making croissants, wandering through charming galleries, catching up with some of our favourite humans, and racking up steps around the city in an effort to get me hiking-capable asap. not exactly the summits we’d planned, but time well-spent all the same 💛 #fujifilmx100vi
  • 2-WEEK KYUSHU ITINERARY ✨ the perfect active road trip for exploring Japan’s 3rd largest island!

  • The famous bowing deer of Nara 🦌✨ The ancient city of Nara is home to around 1,300 sacred deer (believed to be messengers to the gods!) roaming freely around the parks and temples. They are SO cute & friendly, and feeding the deer in Nara was a top highlight of my 6 weeks in Japan 🥹 Tips for visiting the deer: 🦌 head to Nara Park & you’ll find deer everywhere near Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha & Kofukuji. Look for shikadamari (deer meeting spots) & approach respectfully! 🍘 buy shika senbei (deer crackers) for ~¥200 from local vendors. Hold one up, bow & watch the deer bow back! 🚃 get here in ~45min from Kyoto or Osaka by train 🏯 this is a popular day trip, but I definitely recommend staying overnight in a traditional ryokan & eating at some of the amazing local restaurants ⏱️ the park is prettiest early in the morning or around sunset when it’s quieter, the light is soft & the deer are more relaxed . . . . . #nara #naradeer #japan #japantravel #traveljapan #wheninjapan
  • DOHA, QATAR 🇶🇦✨ Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East! WHAT TO SEE ⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos ⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections ⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!) ⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon ⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina! ⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants ⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar
  • Standing on the rim of one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, with smoke billowing out of the crater right behind us 🌋🔥 Mt Aso National Park is one of Japan’s coolest hiking spots, but still seriously underrated! With craggy lava fields, steaming vents & surreal views in every direction, you can hike right up to the rim of Nakadake Crater (when it’s safe!) and we had this spot completely to ourselves 💃🏻 . . . . . #MtAso #MtAsoNationalPark #nakadake #japan #kyushu #japanroadtrip
  • a round-up of some of my favourite hot springs over the years 🔥 locations: 📍 Hidalgo, Mexico 📍 Wyoming, USA 📍 Icelandic Highlands 📍 Beppu, Japan 📍 Baja California, Mexico 📍 Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru 📍 Mt Aso, Japan 📍 Idaho, USA 📍 Kagoshima, Japan 📍 BCS, Mexico 📍 Itō, Japan 📍 New Mexico, USA what do you prefer, the wild natural springs or the built-up onsen of Japan?? . . . . . #hotspring #naturalhotspring #onsen #japan
  • welcome to Qatar 🇶🇦✨ One of the most surprising places we visited in the Middle East was Doha! Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, and the city feels welcoming, approachable & surprisingly easy to explore. HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest PLACE FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO 📍Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos 📍Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections, in an iconic I.M. Pei-designed building 📍Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography or a boat ride!) 📍Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon 📍Fish Market: a lively (& very local) slice of daily life in the Mina District, with the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen! 📍Qanat Quartier: a quirky “Little Venice” with canals & bridges, plenty of great restaurants here 📍Katara Cultural Village: home to art galleries, amphitheatres & beachfront cafés . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar
  • Pivoting away from all the Japan photos for a moment to share a sleeper hit from last year’s travels that didn’t make it onto the feed (because I’m perpetually behind on posting…) → Qatar!! This small Middle Eastern country was never on my list, but while we were in the region for the 2nd half of last year, we decided to take advantage of the Qatar Airways stopover program (this isn’t sponsored, it’s just a really cool program 😅) For no extra cost, we were able to build a 4-day stopover into our flights from Oman to Egypt, and we ended up having WAY more fun in Qatar than expected. You don’t need long to explore (you could cram most of the highlights into 2-3 days), but it’s guaranteed to impress! I’ll share some of our favourite experiences from Doha tomorrow, but WOW, who knew!? . . . . #doha #qatar #qatarairways #stopover #middleeast

paris on (fuji)film 🇫🇷🥐🧀✨ we’d originally planned to spend June climbing in the French + Swiss Alps… but after I had knee surgery at the end of April, we had to pivot to something a little more recovery-friendly. so we changed our flights from Geneva to Paris and instead spent a couple weeks sipping cocktails, making croissants, wandering through charming galleries, catching up with some of our favourite humans, and racking up steps around the city in an effort to get me hiking-capable asap. not exactly the summits we’d planned, but time well-spent all the same 💛 #fujifilmx100vi

The famous bowing deer of Nara 🦌✨ The ancient city of Nara is home to around 1,300 sacred deer (believed to be messengers to the gods!) roaming freely around the parks and temples. They are SO cute & friendly, and feeding the deer in Nara was a top highlight of my 6 weeks in Japan 🥹 Tips for visiting the deer: 🦌 head to Nara Park & you’ll find deer everywhere near Todaiji Temple, Kasuga Taisha & Kofukuji. Look for shikadamari (deer meeting spots) & approach respectfully! 🍘 buy shika senbei (deer crackers) for ~¥200 from local vendors. Hold one up, bow & watch the deer bow back! 🚃 get here in ~45min from Kyoto or Osaka by train 🏯 this is a popular day trip, but I definitely recommend staying overnight in a traditional ryokan & eating at some of the amazing local restaurants ⏱️ the park is prettiest early in the morning or around sunset when it’s quieter, the light is soft & the deer are more relaxed . . . . . #nara #naradeer #japan #japantravel #traveljapan #wheninjapan

DOHA, QATAR 🇶🇦✨ Without the flashy excess of the UAE & Saudi, Doha offers a more authentic slice of the Arabian Gulf, where culture & tradition meet striking modern architecture, world-class art, and a glittering skyline. We loved our time in Doha and would highly recommend as a quick stopover next time you’re flying through the Middle East! WHAT TO SEE ⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos ⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections ⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!) ⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon ⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina! ⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants ⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar

WHAT TO SEE ⭐️ Souq Waqif: a buzzing market with spices, textiles & gold, perfect for getting lost + taking photos ⭐️ Museum of Islamic Art: one of the world’s most stunning Islamic art collections ⭐️ Dhow Harbour: traditional wooden boats bobbing in the water with Doha’s skyline behind (great for photography!) ⭐️ Mina District: neighbourhood with colourful pastel buildings & street art, best explored in golden light of late afternoon ⭐️ Fish Market: the most beautiful stained-glass ceiling I’ve ever seen, worth a quick walk through while exploring Mina! ⭐️ Qanat Quartier: a rainbow-hued “Little Venice” with canals, bridges & plenty of great restaurants ⭐️ Katara Cultural Village: a great place to discover local culture HOW MANY DAYS? we spent 4 days in Doha, but you can see most of the city’s highlights in 2-3 days GETTING AROUND Uber is the best way to get across the city to visit some of the farther places of interest . . . . #qatar #doha #qatarairways #arabiangulf #persiangulf #middleeast #visitQatar #DohaQatar
