Six months from today is both New Year’s Day and the official start to 2020 Japanuary, when powder hounds worldwide ascend on Japan in search of neck deep snow, vending machine beer (and hot coffee), natural onsens, and 7-11 snow crab. My flights are booked for 2020. What about you? | Photography by @fieldmag shot on #contaxt2 with #portra400 film
This is soo embarrassing to share on here...⠀⠀
⠀⠀
But for years, I was terrified of riding a bicycle
⠀⠀
I never properly learned when I was kid (ya girl never graduated from training wheels! )⠀⠀
⠀⠀
And... I am actually petrified of fast-moving vehicles (put me on a rollercoaster and you'll find out ) ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
But I eventually realized I was missing out on some reallyyyy cool experiences when traveling ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
So I ended up enlisting a friend to teach me, and eventually got on a bicycle properly when visiting Hokkaido, Japan ⠀
⠀⠀
This is embarrassing, but those first few hills were actually TERRIFYING (sometimes I pushed my bike instead of cycling downhill ) and I even fell off at one point.
⠀⠀
I was so shaken, but the pride of surviving my first fall... made me get back on again ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
In this case, my love of travel has led me to learn an actual skill (hey, riding a bike is a useful skill... right)⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Who here has learned or taught themselves something specifically because of travel?
⠀⠀
Any other non-bike riders here? Or am I the only person on here who didn’t know how to ride a bike into adulthood? Surely not... right ⠀⠀

Throwback to a sunny, clear day in japan We got woken up by the weird and funny noises of the ostrich, as the sun rose over @hopihillsfarm , where we were staying. The goats, dogs and alpacas were also awake. The #hopihillsfarm is often referred to as “the snowiest farm on earth” with an average snowfall of about 12-16 meters As we got out on the mountain to explore @kirororesort , we quickly found fresh tracks. Not many people were around. A peace no words can describe rushed into my body as the sound of my board gliding though the fresh snow became my focal point. The decorated trees and the glittering sparkles in the snow made for a perfect winter wonderland. In the distance we saw the ocean - a very rare experience as it’s mostly snowy days here in the winter. I could not help but bring my phone out and capture some of this moment to share with you. The beauty of social media is that we can share things and moments that inspired us. If it can spark a couple of seconds of #presentness in you or a mesmerization for nature, I have done my job Hope you enjoy this ride ❄️☀️ #snowboarding #japow #snowboarder #japan #hokkaido #visithokkaido #snow #winterwonderland #beautiful #kiroro #kirororesort #movingmeditation #meditation #iphone #iphonex #digitalbegeistring #winter #vinterferie
☁️ If humans can make mountains, imagine the power God has over all the earth, the universe and beyond. Yes, THE OG Ultimate “Content Creator” if you think about it! So have a little faith if not a whole lot... be bold, and keep the dream alive. Take those baby steps and bicycle rides otw, and before you know it you’re there! Oh, and don’t forget to bring along great company and friends with you! // This was such a perfect day around #MoerenumaPark! ⛲️ Entrance is free, with a minimal bike rental fee. Enjoy the vast “meadows”, museums, grand fountain show, and parks in the summer, and take on snow activities too in the winter!! ❄️ How I wish to come back here to just bask in the park in all 4 seasons! Yes, this is a #MustVisit and #MustExperience in #Hokkaido! *second to the last photo is me saying “don’t go/shantay please stay” to the moment “ missing my #SapporoSquad alreadyyy!

When your hotel’s name literally translates as “cake kingdom” you know it’s gonna be a grand one! I mean how cute are the pink elevators right? Love how family friendly @gateauxkingdom_official is too from food to amenities!! And since the hotel is owned by a confectionery (thus the name), you must try their pastries!! #Hokkaido
Leaving tomorrow to Hokkaido to lead Finnature photography tour to Hokkaido for 10 days and after that we will have two days with Snow Monkeys!

#Sapporo, you have my heart Remember the film #KitaKita? #OtaruCanal is one of the movie’s iconic spots! After watching it I was like, I must come to visit #Hokkaido asap! And it exceeded my expectations to say the least. It has waaaay more to offer than beer, ice cream, and winter wonder! It’s a great mix of both country and city, romantic yet upbeat, and somehow always surprises you! These past few days have been such a dream! Thank you @visitjapanjp! Will be posting more from the trip and what we discovered with our packed itinerary!! #JCootds in @promod / bag by @moschino, necklace by @theofficialpandora both also available on @zaloraph, get 20-25% with my code JANEENA / sneakers by @urbanathletics ✔️ // join my ongoing #RefreshWithPromod #giveaway too!!
