"My craziest experience: a group of us drove from Dubrovnik to Salzburg in a day because our flight was canceled, and got stopped at the Slovenian border for 45 minutes because we didn't have the right vehicle documentation! We think our misfortunes happened because we spent too much time on a cursed island the day before..."

"I’ve always been a foodie, so one of my favorite things in Japan was the cuisine. I loved going around to as many of Tokyo’s ramen shops as possible and tasting all the different bowls they served. In addition to being delicious, it was a great way to connect with culture and participate in a core part of everyday life for the locals. Of everything from my time in Japan, the ramen is the thing I miss the most!"
