Day 1: Arrival in Rovaniemi We landed in Rovaniemi just after 6pm, and thankfully, the travel day was smooth—always a win. After passport control, I wetnt directly to the rental car counter while Ben waited for the luggage. mart move, because by the time he joined me, the line was massive. I probably would’ve had…
One Thursday afternoon we randomly booked a trip for the following Wednesday — because why not? o overthinking, no months of planning — just pure, spontaneous travel energy. Before booking, the afternoon disappeared into initial research mode: lights, accommodation, activities, and car hire. And honestly? Everything just seemed to fall into place. With the stars…

We just spent a couple of days in Sleepy Hollow, New York (Tarrytown). Yes, Sleepy Hollow, as in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.

We were so excited for Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. There was a train station near the hotel that went straight to the Disney stop. We got off the train and jumped on the Disney tram since we were heading to DisneySea. Once we arrived we had to get in line to get tickets for…
