tokyo, japan - fall in love with asia all over again

i love asia. i love the people, i love the food, i love the vast difference in culture. #iloveasianshit

 japan has been on my list for a long time and lucky for me i got to combine it with a work trip to singapore. even more lucky, my coworker/friend/travel buddy belinda got to come along! 

 i spent a week in japan... the first day i was meant to be alone but i got connected with friends of friends and had a blast. 

 here's some things to do and places to eat in tokyo: 
highly recommend this airbnb: meguro station listing
or this one, somewhat out of town but in a REALLY cool neighborhood with my favorite airbnb host (who speaks very little english, but did not take away from my experience: SHIBUYA 7 MINS AMAZING HOST(for woman only)

i also highly recommend taking the train out to the countryside (2.5 hours) to an onsen like this one: http://www.japanican.com/en/hotel/detail/4258004/. beautiful views of mt. fuji. get a traditional japanese room! 
sushi at kyubey (2nd course)
view from public bath at onsen
dinner on 38th floor
lunch at nigishi
fish from tsukiji market

marvelous medellin

medellin is a city of contrasts.  warm people, and insane traffic. metropolitan innovations, and simple pleasures i love it.  to stay (see below for info on guatape): what kind of traveler are you? how do you like to see a city: most places will tell you stay in poblado, but i really really don't recommend it. it's very touristy and can be unsafe because it's so touristy. that being said, a lot of the best restaurants and cafes are there, as well as some nice hotels. i suggest staying a bit away from calle 10, but don't walk at night. alternatively, here are some other close by neighborhoods: patio bonita, tesoro, castropol, campestre, la frontera.  if you want a quieter place near cafes, places to walk and great parks/the stadium: stay in laureles. it's very flat and easy to get around, but crime has gone up there because there's a lot of tourists. tons of bars, restaurants, cafes, and 70, which is a fun place for nightlife.  if you want to see how loca...

minimizing jetlag: shonna style

Image
okay, so i don't get jetlag. it's my superpower, and it's pretty super. i don't mean to brag about it, but it's legit. and it makes traveling much easier. BUT i do think it's partially because i shift my sleep schedule and sleep on the plane, plus follow these MUST do tips below to ensure i can and will sleep when i need to and be awake when i need to. here's how i do it:  get a neck pillow. it really really makes a difference. if you don't like carrying a fluffy one around (i don't), get an inflatable one, that's what i use and it works just fine.  get ear plugs, and wear them. they make a HUGE difference on airplanes. i recommend these ones .  get an eye mask. they fuck with the lights and people might have their shades open, it's a crazy world out there and you need to be able to regulate the light. i recommend this one .  take tylenol PM 30 min before you need to sleep. if you've tried it before and it sucked, try it again...

kyoto: matcha magic and slower life

Image
i took the bullet train to kyoto from tokyo to get outside the city and visit another part of japan. and i'm so glad i did! kyoto was beautiful, quieter, and i got to experience more like local japan life. i am traveling alone this trip. i haven't solo traveled for pleasure since i was transitioning between ventura and san francisco in 2013. back then i headed to the maldives, where i missed beau and was excited to start my life in sf. while solo travel can be challenging, it's nice not to have to make any decisions with anyone else and truly do what you want to do. no arguing over directions, deciding where to eat or feeling guilty about wanting to go to bed (story of my life). i spent my days wandering the streets, walking 10+ miles and trying lots of different foods. kyoto is FILLED with matcha everything. so many sweet treats and fun things to try. i definitely recommend matcha or black sesame ice cream and trying the foods from the food stalls and/or nish...
