Only 30 minutes each way but there’s something about being on a train that just can’t be beat. 🫶🏼 No traffic, no navigating. Just you, getting to fully absorb the area you’re traveling through.

The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad had both indoor and outdoor seating options. Plus a guide pointing out things to look out for and providing a bit of history.

Have you ever taken a scenic train ride? Tell me where in the comments below! 🩵

Save this for your next trip to the Oregon Coast 🌲🌊

Homebody at heart but the minute I get outside or am traveling… I just can’t help but stop and absorb everything going on around me.

I’m a curious person by nature and love slowing down to stop and smell the roses when I’m out and about.

(Aka I’m probably not good to travel with if you love bouncing around quickly from one place to another lol.)

How do you like to travel?

📍Oregon Coast

I believe travel is one of the best ways to step off the hamster wheel of everyday life. And that it’s worth slowing down to be fully present wherever you are.

🩵 What does slow travel mean to you?

So worth waking up early for low tide 🩵🐚 never seen so many starfish, muscles, sea anemones, and little crabs in their natural habitat before. Nature is so cool! 🥲

It was an early start but our sleepiness went away quickly once we saw how far out we were able to walk on the beach during low tide.

Plus the quintessential Oregon Coast misty vibes were immaculate and created the perfect cozy atmosphere for our annual girls’ retreat 🩵

A little glimpse into life lately at home 🏡 This

A little glimpse into life lately at home 🏡

This week’s vlog is a departure from my usual Japan content. It’s a peek into what life actually looks like for me lately, back home in California, in between trips and travel guides.

It’s the start of a new chapter with more lifestyle, more LA + beyond, not just Japan 🌴

(Oregon’s up next in July, and don’t worry, the Japan spring trip guides are still on the way too 🇯🇵)

Full vlog linked in bio 🎬

Love solo travel moments like this one. 🩵 I didn’t get the name of the vendor with the apple mochi pie but they’re located right outside of the Hirosaki Tsugaru-Han Neputa-Mura Village 🍎🫶🏼

Sending postcards allows me to slow down and let the people I love at home know that I’m thinking about them.

It’s become a new Japan souvenir tradition: postcards, stamped and sent from wherever I am in Japan. 📮

A bonus was discovering the unique localized post boxes along the way! ✨

Most people don’t know Aomori has its own Great Buddha — and even fewer know you can actually walk inside it. 🤯

The Shōwa Daibutsu at Seiryu-ji Temple stands at 21 meters tall, making it one of the largest bronze seated Buddha statues in Japan — taller than both Kamakura and Nara.

But the real hidden gem is the interior which houses a charming museum explaining Buddhist ideology and sayings, and with walls lined with Buddha figures.

It was unlike anything I expected and I left understanding so much more about Buddhism, one of Japan’s most practiced religions.

If Aomori is on your Japan itinerary, add this one to your list.

📍 Seiryu-ji Temple, Aomori City
