Stop. (Hammer time?)

-
Okay.. Out of all the airports in the world I've cried in the Denpasar airport one too many times now. I spent the day on a motorbike.. Family.. It's okay I wore a helmet.. friends.. I know I'm awesome ;)
I went around the south of Bali to the beaches and had some "lasts" 
Last Bingtang, last mango slices, and just soaking up the amazing people, who have been so incredibly friendly and who I have shared laughs and smiles with me that will fuel me through any future bad days. The only downfall of my day was my driver who came early to get me... Great for him for being punctual but at that very moment my Bali best friend was coming from padang padang to surprise me.. And as I was driving away he got there and we completely and utterly missed each other. Isn't it crazy how if just one thing goes differently the series of events that follow are changed? 
I didn't find out until I got to the airport and yup. Cried. I will miss him so much! 

It JUST hit me that I am going to Australia. I have a headache right now I am so excited as much as every bone in my body is going to miss Asia, I am also so ready for Australia now. I also just want to say that I'm probably not going to be blogging as much, as my life becomes more day to day activities it will probably become (welcoming so) more boring, but keep checking every once in awhile ☺️ I also am looking Foward to lots of skype calls soon!! It's been way overdue for way to many people and let's make this happen people!! 

Okay time for me to power down my phone.. Wish me luck I can barely sit still in my seat

Canadians have earned themselves an international stereotype of being “friendly, nice people.” Generally, most people are, but I also have been living in a small ski town for years where you say hi and stop for a chat with every passerby. So, when everybody seemed to say that Newfies were exactly that, I didn’t think to much into it.  If you: A)       Don’t like your waitress asking the table your first names and full story giving you free dessert, free pens, and her business card. B)        don’t like people always stopping for a friendly chat in front of you to a friend in the middle of the highway C)        don’t think you are a chatty person who enjoys anything from an elderly couple who are apologizing for the curlers in her hair but just wanted to stop by your campsite to say hi to almost bumping into somebody on the ferry and they start apologizing to you like they just hit you with a...

Kyushu, we lava yu.

Like I've mentioned before, we have really tried on this trip to take it easy and not squeeze every last place in. We have visited the main island Honshu, Shikoku, and now Kyushu. Kyushu we decided to go to because it warms up first, and seems to have plenty of off the beaten track spots. Or maybe its off the beaten path in low season time. Either way, often we never saw another obvious tourists and that is always a little cool. We decided that our last two weeks were going to be in cities. So we immersed ourselves in nature. With one day checking out Mount Aso, and active volcano that was actually letting out a dangerous amount of sulphur at the time we visited. So unfortunately,  we couldn't hike it. Since 2009, the town  has just re-opened for the first time in February of this year, so we were thankful for what we got! I have been blown away by the diversity of Japan. From the cities, to geographical landscapes, to how often they are hit with earthquakes and other natural...

The Spark of A Memory

  The Spark of a Memory-A Short Travel story   Japan will impress you with its innovation, but it will draw you in with its mysterious Zen. Insisting that you slow down with it, demanding that you respect it. If you bow down, it will return a peaceful bow to you. The respect and politeness of the country not only reverberates through itself, but also through its people.     As you sip sencha tea in an elegant tea house. As venerable temples stand tall above modern neighborhoods. Dark wooden Onsen’s, with magical healing waters that once healed samurais after battles. Now helped businessmen relax after work. The old and the new sing in pure harmony together, and this is the true spark of Japan.     I had a dream in my back pocket for a long time, to visit Kyoto during Cherry Blossom season. I was now living out that dream, but the contrast to reality is that this dream was one I shared with thousands of tourists from all over the world. I was frustrated afte...
