Bobby and I didn't meet too long ago, but after riding together with everyone at Northstar, we realized we can pace each other very well which makes riding super easy and enjoyable. Shortly after that, we started planning a snowboarding trip in Japan since I was planning on moving there. Well we made the plans... Continue Reading →
best of 2022
Here are 12 of my favorite photos of the year, let's see if I can try to explain why I chose each one. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854077049_ba0cea5fed_b.jpg This was a dope day with my boy BJ, while shooting a video of his car I grabbed some stills. Downtown pics of cars always look so good. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51959343506_9f9d1399a4_b.jpg Incredible view... Continue Reading →
my new car in japan: 2000 toyota altezza
I still can't believe this happened, even though it's not anything that impressive. My first weekend in Japan after moving here I met Jordan from Tweed Auto, in conversation I had mentioned that I wanted to buy a cheap daily driver at some point. He then offered me this car at a really good price,... Continue Reading →
cafe NAMS | osaka
I recently came across this place on instagram and thought it looked really nice! I figured since I am still on summer vacation I might as well visit. The location really surprised me, as it wasn't in a popular area. I planned on getting exterior/interior shots but I wanted to do that after the meal.... Continue Reading →
A weekend in: Fukuoka, Japan

I have heard of this place but never looked into it that much, I did some quick youtube research of the area then booked my flight and airbnb. I would be flying from Kansai International (KIX) to...

I looooove aquascapes and planted tanks so this was huge for me. During my summer... Continue Reading →
Paid to eat curry?!
Recently a buddy of mine sent me a survey link that was for people to taste curry and write a review based on their findings. It pays 4,000 yen, roughly $29 so I thought why not! I submitted an application and it was approved within a day or so, the company called me and my... Continue Reading →
エルソカロブリトー (El Zocalo Burrito) osaka, jp
My first time trying Mexican food in Japan! Wasn't really sure what to expect but I must say, the portions were super small compared to what I'm used to being served at a Mexican restaurant in California. But that's to be expected since most meal portions are just smaller here in Japan. Here's a yelp... Continue Reading →
nara park 奈良公園
I met up with a new friend via the app HelloTalk this past Sunday and we decided to go visit Nara Park https://www.visitnara.jp/destinations/area/nara-park/ It was really interesting to meet a stranger when there was a significant language barrier, especially to do a 2 hour car ride together. But luckily it went well and we were... Continue Reading →
