Fast paced Tokyo

Stepping into the airport, you are immediately confronted by Japanese culture. Not the old tradition culture, but the bright colors and lights of the pop and tech Japanese culture. Walking out of customs, you are greeted by Mario and the gang on the escalator. Walking into a new country after customs and border control and…

Windy Wellington

The capital of New Zealand is tucked away at the bottom of the north island and is the gateway to the south island.

Be local

Hello Berlin

Berlin may bring up mixed thoughts and feelings upon hearing the name, but the city has grown to be a cultural and artistic hotspot. The Holocaust Memorial is a maze of different sized columns numbering 2711 in all. The artist meant for the memorial to be confusing and disorienting. It is not taken kindly if…
