I’ve been hoping to go to Japan again since our last trip there, and that trip still hasn’t happened even though more than 3 years have passed. The past few years have been tough, and it felt like different challenges kept coming one after another. I’ve been wanting to take a vacation overseas (somewhere that isn’t Bangkok), but something was always preventing it from materialising.

I want a change of scenery, even if it’s just for a few days. I want to see new things and be inspired and motivated once again. I want a proper break so that I can reset myself. I hate getting my hopes up for a vacation, and getting disappointed time and time again because those plans have to be shelved.

I’m going to make this trip happen if I get a job in the next couple of months! It has to happen ideally by December, or the first few months next year. I know that I won’t be able to travel for another few years once we have another kid, and I cannot hang on that long. I know that vacations aren’t a necessity, and many people get by without travelling overseas, but I’ve been wanting this really badly for years and I really want to do something nice for myself once I have the means to.
