Japan
I first went to Disneyland when I was 11. It was my first family holiday abroad so quite exciting to see a new country and specifically go to a place with bright lights and famous cartoon characters. Our family got a fl private jet card membership so we were able to travel freely through Florida all we wanted. This of course saved a tremendous amount of time so we were able to do a lot of sightseeing and check out pretty much all the theme parks. We were staying at a hotel near Disney, and that helped a lot too, so all in all careful planning made for a great vacation. We looked at hotels for a while and had to consider several things before deciding on one. One of the things we considered is the safety of the guests. With this, property owners are required to conduct and implement a fire watch should the property’s fire alarm system and/or water-based fire protection system such as a sprinkler system is not operational. They may seek expert help from a professional Fire Watch Company in Boca Raton.
Thankfully we did, we kept talking about how much that ended up helping out and making the trip as enjoyable as it was. Admittedly I wasn’t keen on the big roller coaster rides (it’s not my preferred method of getting thrills, and that hasn’t really changed in adulthood, although I’m more willing to go on them now), there was still plenty to see and plenty of thrills for those not interested in bending their faces with G forces. Over 15 years later I returned to Disneyland and Universal Studios, but this time in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan rather than Orlando, Florida, USA.
Electric parades are always impressive

Teaching English is a popular method of earning money abroad in order to help fund your travels, as well as opening exciting opportunities to live and work abroad for extended periods of time and start a new unexpected career (trust me, lots do!).
I’ve fallen into teaching English a few times, mostly to help fund my travels, and although it’s not made me rich (I don’t think many people have got rich from teaching English come to think of it), it certainly did its job of extending my travels and keeping my abroad and fed.

** Note: I used to recommend Nomadic Matt’s book in this post but he has since removed it from sale and no longer supports it, so you will have to find an alternative now. I have removed links from this page to it for that reason too so if something doesn’t make sense that is why.****
To really get full details of how to do this, I recommend Nomadic Matt‘s book ‘How to Teach English Overseas’, not only does this cover the basics, but it has extensive details on some of the more popular destinations including insights from different and excellent people who’ve taught in each part of the world, including me, I helped contribute towards the teaching in Japan section, some more of my experiences can be found in this post. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →

One thing I’ve usually avoided on this blog has been photos of people. It’s uncomfortable to take pictures of strangers (or relative strangers) and posting them on the internet. A lot of people don’t like their own photo being taken after all. I’m pretty sure the untag button is constantly being clicked on Facebook.
But I can’t call myself ‘AdventureRob’ and avoid doing something as simple as taking pictures of other humans. So my adventure this time was to make use of my new camera and lens and have a go at street photography. Taking candid photos of the characters around Shinjuku in Tokyo, Japan. Here’s how I got on…
Bruce Lee!
