About this blog

Hello,

This is a travel blog for our trip around the world. Starting off in Japan, which will involve snowboarding fresh powder at six resorts and checking out Tokyo and Kyoto, we will then make our way to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, before heading to Europe to trek around on our Eurail passes. Next stop is South America where we will drop in on our friends' wedding in Ecuador, hike to Machu Picchu, visit Buenos Aires and explore the Patagonia (on foot and snowboard)!

We hope you enjoy reading our updates,

Greg and Fiona.
