Going to Japan (again) 2024

I was ecstatic last year when I told you I was going back after many years 🤩 I teased a little bit a few weeks ago I had a classified trip coming up, but you either were envious or had 0 interest playing my little “guess the destination game” 🥲 You’ve seen the post title, […]
