Finally it is here, my first own website;
http://www.beautifultravelhangover.com/
I finally launched my website after working hard on it for two weeks. I did go to Korea in between so that might explain the slow progress haha. But mostly it is because the internet connection at my dorm has been so bad these past few weeks that I can't even upload photos. But I somehow managed to finish up my new and improved BTH website and I am so proud :)
I hope you guys will love it as much as I do and I hope to see you al there!
That also means that I will be moving away from this blog to my website, and take down the [.....]
Hello everyone!
It has been awfully quiet on the Beautiful Travel Hangover last week. I have been itching to write more posts about my trips to Osaka, Tokyo and Korea last winter vacation but.... I couldn't because I have been working on my website. Yes, you read that right! I finally bought my own domain and will be moving to my very own website that I have been building for the past week. It is difficult and a lot of work, but it is worth it because [.....]
Friendly Fukuoka - Dazaifu Tenmangu, Sumo Stable and Komyozenji
I was having a small spring cleaning last week and when I went through all my documents and leaflets I came across leaflets about the Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine. I took a look at them and realized I didn't even write a post about our trip there yet. So I will obviously be making a change to that today! Forgetful as I am I forgot my camera's memory card so until my friend lent me hers I couldn't take any photos of the first part of the [.....]
A Weekend Trip to Nagasaki Part 2 - Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and Glover Garden
Last time I wrote about the the first day of our Nagasaki school trip and today I want to continue by telling about our second day. This is mostly about the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum which is quite a popular tourist destination, so it might be an interesting read for people considering to visit this museum or the one in Hiroshima (which I have yet to visit).
The next day it was time to rise and shine early in the morning (as always), and I [.....]
A Weekend Trip to Nagasaki Part 1 - Kyushu National Museum and Mifuneyama Rakuen
Last semester we took a lot of school trips with JTW around Kyushu to see and learn more about the area. The last trip that semester was to Nagasaki. I had been longing to go there because I wanted to visit the former Dutch traders island of Dejima and see some of the Dutch influences left around the city. Unfortunately we didn't go there.
Before we went to the city of Nagasaki we dropped by the Kyushu National Museum and later at Mifuneyama-rakuen. The National Museum of [.....]
Today I will be writing about something a little bit different from my usual travel en field work blog posts. I will continue writing about my trips of course, but today I wanted to talk about something important that happened. Granted, I went out in Fukuoka again but this time I went with two friends for a special purpose; a photoshoot! One of my friends was planning to do a photoshoot with one of our mutual friends and she invited me over. I had never done [.....]
Hello everyone!
Recently I wrote a guest post for the budget travel website called Etramping. They have a series which focuses on traveling in cities around the world for 25 dollars a day or less. I wrote a post for them on how to spend a day in Fukuoka, Japan for less than $25. I am very thankful that they posted my story on their website. I hope you guys will check it out!

Aso Volcano Area: UNESCO Global GEO Park
I am excited to introduce another field trip to you guys. I know, what's up with all the field trips you might think? Well, I get to visit unique locations in Japan (mostly Kyushu) that are usually inaccessible or unknown to foreigners and even some Japanese. Besides that I also get to listen to tours and explanations of these areas by experts so I learn a lot on these field trips, if I manage to understand the complex Japanese that these experts use. Lastly it is great to [.....]
