How we spent one day in Sapporo, Japan
“Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan, and the largest city on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.” (Thanks Wikipedia!) We visited because we had just finished snowboarding in Hokkaido, so we thought it’d be worth exploring the city for a day before flying out.

A Guide to Skiing at Rusutsu Ski Resort in Hokkaido, Japan
If you’re looking for that famous Hokkaido powder, look no further than Rusutsu Ski Resort. It has lots of tree areas to explore and though it’s roped off, people go anyway. The resort itself can be summarized as homey, not too modern, but for the purists that just want good powder for good value above all else, this is the place to be.

Austin / San Antonio, TX
There are too many good BBQ and taco places to try. But aside from food, there’s history at the Texas Capitol and the Alamo, unique shopping (think cowboy boots!), and other unique experiences (think shooting ranges and… wait, bats?).

Boston, MA
Few cities can claim, well U.S. cities at least, such a unique and important past: the oldest this in America, the oldest that in America… So for this reason, Boston stands out as a place to visit. From a personal perspective, I love the city for how livable it seems. It is a place to raise a family.

Norway in a Nutshell
What’s unique about this trip is that the whole purpose of it is to travel between cities, via a scenic train ride from Oslo to Flam, then a ferry through Norway’s famous fjords to Bergen.
