6 of the Best Temples to Visit in Kyoto, Japan

Hi Friends!

I took my first trip Japan last month with my friend Rachel and was absolutely mind-blown. Between the food, the culture, and the people, it's safe to say Japan is a country I will definitely be returning to in the future.

Rachel and I started our trip in Kyoto, the Japanese city with the most temples. Visiting the temples and shrines and learning about different religious practices was one of the things I was most excited about for this trip, because it's so different from Western culture. Spoiler alert: it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the trip!

5 Controversial Things I Did as a Blogger/Online Business Owner That Helped Make Me Successful

In my last email, I mentioned that I'd be pulling back the curtain to reveal 5 controversial things I did as a blogger and online business owner that helped me grow a successful business. Rather than cram everything into one email, I'm breaking it into a 5-part series so I can dive deeper into each lesson and show you exactly how I grew and monetized my travel blog.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reply to this email or message me on Instagram.

❤️, Gina

Is THIS Japanese City on Your Radar?

| Home | | About Me | | Destinations | | Storyteller | | Blog | This Japanese City is Known as "The Kitchen of Japan" (and I'm Obsessed) Click to Read Hi Friends! When I was planning my trip to Japan, I thought Osaka would just be a quick stop between Tokyo and Kyoto. I mean, let's face it: Tokyo is legendary, and Kyoto is historic.
