Tokyo: the food

November 27, 2017May 25, 2020 / Alice / 2 Comments

I’m going to state the obvious: the food in Japan is awesome. Since Tokyo was my first stop in Japan, I was on a mission to constantly eat and snack.

One of my last stops: wax palms at Valle de Cocora. Back to NY in a few days 😱
Well, if I had to get food poisoning during my trip, at least I got to recover on a pretty beach. 🏝
I may not know how to pose for photos, but I’m still feeling the vibes in Medellin. ✌️✌️ #whereisthelowerhalfofmyrightleg
Even the Olympics couldn’t distract me from the beauty of Bariloche. #olympicswithdrawal
Sorry, more Patagonia photos. #ipromisethiswillendsoon
Here’s an ice-related PSA to go along with these glacier photos: the Olympics are going on now, so please watch the figure skating events! ⛸ #idesperatelyneedaccesstoatv
