I was lucky enough to be able to travel to Guam with my partner, Charlene, over the the break, in between semesters. I had been talking about visiting Guam over the past few years to my father, and me studying abroad in Japan was the push that we both needed to make it become a reality for us. This trip was really special for me as it is where my father is from and where he currently lives.
Kamakura and Enoshima are both very close to Yokohama. I consider myself lucky that both were so close and filled with many beautiful locations and historic sites such as shrines and temples that could be easily explored during multiple day trips. Because it was so close, it was easy to hop on a 30 minute train ride to explore a historic city that many others in Japan would have to travel hours to get to.
In this post I will mainly talk about some travel tips that I have learned along the way from mainly my experience with it in Japan. I go into more detail about my travel ventures in other posts, so if you’re interested, feel free check them out.
To preface this post, most of my budgeting was done with my partner Charlene. We split most of the appliances and chipped in equally for other items as well and this was our experience budgeting in Japan. Also, we were poor here in the states, so being poor in Japan was only a slight adjustment.
