Who We Are

I am writing this from our Airbnb in Hakodate! A bit later than we’d planned, but at least we’re here now.

Off to Korea
We’re currently packing for South Korea tomorrow! It’s funny how weird it feels to be going to another country – we’ve been traveling a lot in a foreign country up until now, but this is a new foreign country, and it’s strange to think we’ll be in a whole different place tomorrow night.
