Tales From Our Pocket

In-depth travelers who over-analyze and research everything, including the destinations we visit!

We know we'll visit 100 countries eventually, but we're in no hurry to get there. There's always MORE to see, whether it's nature, architecture, food, or sights. We're in search of the BEST hidden gems and underrated spots, which usually takes us to amazing off the beaten path places.

We travel on a modest budget but don't mind spending on experiences, a splurge hotel, or an incredible meal. We hope to inspire YOU to travel to some incredible places. You're never too old to have amazing adventures!

Favorite gear!

This is Nagasaki - also known as our favorite city in Japan - and it's a complete hidden gem. The kind of city we don't want to share, but also the kind we *have* to share because it's so incredible. The history here is fascinating and is so much more than "a city that had a bomb dropped on it."

Have you been there? Do you know why it's the most unique city in all of Japan? Our latest video (possibly my personal favorite so far ❀️) is all about this fascinating city! πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅

It also happens to have one of Japan's 3 best night views!

Who else loves taking night trains?! πŸ™Œ

Neither of us sleep well on them, but we absolutely love being on them. Watching countryside pass by, the rocking of the train, the clicking of the tracks... We're here for all of it.

There's still ONE LAST NON-LUXURY overnight train in Japan!! The rest are all quite expensive, so we knew we had to ride this one while it still exists.

Hop aboard!! Video out now on our channel! πŸš„πŸ’€πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅

Hi friends -

Last night (USA time), an extremely strong earthquake struck near Hualien in Taiwan - the strongest in 25 years.

In a case of bizarre timing, it happened 90 minutes before our next video was to be released. It was a 4 hour video about traveling in Taiwan, a video we've been working on for the past month (and why we haven't posted new content recently!).

But...now is not the right time. We're holding the video while damage is being assessed. We fell *madly* in love with Taiwan and our hearts are broken for the people who live there.

Stay strong, Taiwan. πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡Όβ€οΈ

Hi friends -

Almost 2 weeks ago, we lost a much loved one from our lives. We'll resume new, regular weekly videos next week'ish with something we had an incredible time filming (the photo is a hint, but it's not what you might think!).

In the meantime, we just released a compilation video of our first 3 days in Kuala Lumpur! If you've missed any of those days, now is a great time to catch up.

We'll see you soon... ❀️

We entered Japan yesterday morning via a flight to Osaka! We were greeted by ninjas. πŸ˜‚ And news, lots of news coverage (below is a screenshot from local news that our friend sent us!). We're already working on a video about our entry experience and early Osaka impressions - posting soon! We're so grateful to finally be here for the first time. It was the warmest, bestest welcome!
