Hi! I’m Michelle and this is my story! I fell in love with traveling and travel photography when I was a kid. In my 20's I started solo backpacking. Later, I was trapped by corporate America and lost track of my passions. Now, in my 40's I've left the corporate life and have rekindled my adventurous spirit. I love backpacking, yoga, fitness, and the amazing people I meet around the world! Please follow me for love and inspiration!
Oh my gosh, I'm so in love with these cool snow monkeys! It was a long journey to get here for a few short days, but so worth it! I hope my pictures and short video will put a smile on your face! Have a happy day and remember to take time to play!
Wow, what a wonderful time in Shirahama, a small town with big energy and great new friends! Nachi Falls was so amazing too! So happy I did this! I hope you enjoy the journey!
Making my way south, I landed in Shirahama, a quaint little fishing town with many public onsen baths and amazing scenery. Come on in and check out the cool cave, more cherry blossoms, and Engetsu Island!
A beautiful day in and around Nara Park. The deer were so sweet and kind (except one A-Hole :-), and the sights and scenery were amazing. From parks to temples to the quiet walk around a serene lake, it couldn't have turned out any better.
A full day of cycling with stops at so many beautiful sites around Kyoto. It was a great day with a great group of people. Come on in and enjoy the ride!
Surprise! I'm in Japan! I had to escape the heat in SE Asia, and this beautiful country called me. Please read more and take in a breath of fresh air with me. I promise, you will not be disappointed!
