You cannot visit Japan and do what every other tourist does. You just can’t. It’s against the law, and I won’t let you.
If you are looking for cheap or inexpensive things to do in Japan, you have a sense of adventure, don’t mind heights and want to experience a slightly different Japan then you are in the right place!

Alright. I promised you a coming home post, so here it is.
Firstly, let me say that just because we are back in New Zealand, it doesn’t mean that it’s the end of this blog. Far from it.

This is an honest travelling family blog.
Warts and all.
Because I know that if you are considering travelling with your family – whatever age – you will have doubts that need to be addressed. You need answers, honest answers, not silly ancy pancy rubbish with pretty pictures.
Question: How can you afford to travel for a year?
This is the answer that people ask when we tell them that we are currently travelling the world with our two kids.

We are not millionaires. Far from it! And neither are the traveller’s stories you are about to read.
I’m Liz, and this is my family.
I do Travel. I do Wine. I do being a mum to big kids. Sometimes I do all three at the same time.
I don’t do hormones. Or looking perfect for Instagram. Or dieting.
