I'm back after an exciting summer, and I'm excited to announce that some of my Live Self Happy travel guides are now on GPSmyCity!

This means you can download them and take them with you while you explore. The upgraded version puts the places I mention on a map with navigation.

We are giving away the following 3 upgraded guides completely for free for the next 10 days!

The best 🌸 Cherry Blossoms are found at Kyoto Botanical Gardens and somehow nobody is visiting them!

A hidden gem in plain sight Japans oldest botanical gardens have over 100 varieties of Cherry Blossoms, no lines and a bonsai garden too!

Had a fantastic time trying the tasting menu at Bar Bricco. This restaurant has opened up a few spin-offs lately, but Bricco is still my fav.

Bar Bricco has a polished new exterior and a few new menu items, including Bricco Selects, a tasting menu.

This book is called a Goshuinchō (御朱印帳) and it's used to collect Goshuin (御朱印) which are honorific seals stamped and signed with calligraphy at Buddhist and Shinto Shrines in Japan.

This Goshuin is from Senso-ji temple in Tokyo. It's the first stamp of what I hope will be many to commemorate this trip
