I know right!

There's quite a lot of local/popular hikes in Tokyo that I did back in 2022-23 before I started doing my hiking blog. I'm hoping to slowly revisit them all and write posts about it. Plenty to keep myself busy with for the rest of the year, I think!

Looks interesting! Have added to my to-read list

Yeah that's one thing I miss with remote work, when I used to be at an office (back in Sydney) there were a lot of great coffee spots around!

If I get bored of a tv show or book midway I'll usually just look up the ending on Wikipedia 😂 life is too short to finish a mediocre book!!

Nice!! I recently moved to a bigger apartment and have space to keep my pourover setup out now ✨

I'd totally be keen to be a volunteer!

Oh no, I didn't even realise this conference was happening 😅 I'm too out of the loop

Thankyou!! I woke up to 30 new followers this morning - a pleasant surprise 😂

I think anything that you enjoy is best! It's easier to learn a language when you are enjoying it, in my opinion (easier to do after work when you are tired etc).

Watching English TV shows on Netflix/Amazon with English subtitles will probably help!

Sorry for your loss! Losing a pet is always hard 🫶🏻

Love is Blind is also my guilty pleasure 😂 nice post!

+1 to this, I have this plus the DeepL app for translating (it's kind of tiring reading longer paragraphs like emails 😅)

Thanks!! Not too sure if my company is hiring devs in Japan directly but have sent you an email @danabra.mov

Thanks Marcus!!

Yeah there's still plenty of great hikes to do though! E.g. Mt Kuju down in Kyushu, or if you want to stay closer to Tokyo, maybe a local mountain like Mt Tanzawa or Mt Kumotori is on the harder side (~20km)

And thank you! I'd love to try out some hiking in China one day.

Heya! Unfortunately I don't have much experience in off season hiking in the Alps - anywhere at the 2500m+ mark will be covered in snow! So you will need to bring gear like crampons + ice axe.
