thank you for the suggestion, we’re definitely looking into it! my boyfriend really wanted to do Japan but I’m just not sure if it would be within our budget at the moment! we’re not really east or west coast,, pretty much in the middle and very far north in the US. that said,, if we found that we could save for it (maybe it would have to be a year later than initially planned) then i would totally go for it. Thank you for the information!!
