Most Memorable Travel Experience
India- I visited NGO in Gjarat. I like people, their culture, and food!
Mexico- Mexicocity is a massive city. I can't forget an oasis, Pueblo!
Morroco- market is very interesting to see. I miss the smell of spice...
Russia, Lake bikal- it was wicked to walk on a iced lake, dog riding at the coldest time of year! there were no tourlists except us I believed.
Mongolia- lovely people. I liked there lots of space. I should have tried to eat icecream sold outside in the very cold winter... it would have been a fun experience! I want to visit in summer next time.
Uzbekistan- lovely people! i love blue mosque and a plenty of cotten fields!
Profile
Well, I haven't updated this website for a while, which is simply because I did not travel so much. Also in some reason my passion to trip had gone. I think it is because I did many crazy trips pretty much while being young. I began to trip again only when family or close friends come along. I like to do a relaxing countryside trip. I am getting old for sure :)

Now I do a small trip for a day/weekend from Tokyo to a bit countryside like to see greens and have onsen. I love onsen trip!

I may go to the US this year. Hope I can spare some time and money to see national parks!

Hi, I came upon your page here from the Japan group. I will be traveling to Japan for aprox 6 weeks in August and September. Will be traveling alone. It seems you know your way around very well. Could you possibly offer some advice on traveling the country or maybe mention some of your favorite places to go.
Also, if your schedule permits, I am interested in meeting up with a travel buddy for a day or so here or there, if youre interested.
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
BEST!

Mt. Haguro and onsen trip
May 03, 2009 – May 05, 2009
I went to Mt. Haguro in Yamagata-ken, a northern part of Japan as well as a very local onsen nearby my family's hometown in Fukushima-ken, a countryside between Yamagata-ken and Tokyo. I enjoyed a locan train trip for 11hours/one way. I had no choice due to a lack of money, but really enjoyed a countryside scinery from train's window. Also cherry blossoms!

Shikoku
Apr 26, 2008 – May 01, 2008
It is my first cycling trip! A friend told me Japan is a right size to have a trip by bike, exactly! We cycled one of the main lslands of Japan called Shikoku for 8days. Our plan was cycling along a cost clockwise. We did not have time to cycle the whole island so that we decided to did half of it, plus cut off a bit by train. I was looking forward to see sea and other several little islands between the main island!
