About Fly Away Friday:
Fly Away Friday is a link-up community for travel related blog posts. Hosted by Janine from Fill My Passport and Kana from Life in Wanderlust; we wanted to create and cultivate a supportive community of travelers. Every other Friday at 9:00AM PST, the Fly Away Friday link-up will open for everyone to share their posts all weekend long until Sunday at 11:59PM PST.
A Note From Kana:
Hello, friends! I’m so excited that we’re coming up to our 50th Fly Away Friday link-up! Janine and I are thinking of doing something exciting to celebrate all of you and the link-up. Do you have any ideas? Giveaways? If you have any ideas, leave them in a comment below!
I just got back from a 2 week trip back home to Tokyo, Japan and had so much fun with my family. If you didn’t know, I was born and raised there and lived there until I was 18. My parents and little brother still live there, so I get to visit 2-3 times a year. I was able to see cherry blossoms, azaleas and wisterias so I felt super lucky! Now that I’m back and added a seasonal contract job to my already crazy schedule, I’m absolutely swamped. Not a great feeling but I know it’ll be worth it at the end!

Thanks for hosting this link up, not many travel ones around, and I love your blog! I am interested in being added to your board on pinterest mapleleoopard37[at]gmail.com Also intersted in the pod: my concern about the pod is…I only post every 3 or 4 days right now as I am dealing with a very painful shouder condition… may need surgery. So I am sure everyone posts everyday, which would be hard to keep up with my arm :/ Would so love to though!
Ugh, I can't think of a good way to celebrate the big 5-0! If only we were closer and we could celebrate with a little meet up!
This is my first link up! I am so excited 😀 I am interested in joining the instagram pod. I am @the_wanderingqueen
I love coming to your blog as I have been to Japan many times because my mom was from Osaka. We have friends and family there and will probably be going next year but it will be the first time without Mom, so a bittersweet trip. I love to read about your travels there and about the food you are eating! So glad to have found your blog. P.S. Thank you for hosting this wonderful travel link party.
DM-ed you via Insta! xo
Thank you! So happy to have you! Perfect, I'll add you to the Pinterest group board! I think I was able to add you via e-mail, let me know if it didn't work. I'm so sorry to hear about your shoulder! I only post about 1 every 3 days but yes, it is a lot of work to catch up since a lot of people post daily. You can think about it maybe? There's usually always 1 spot open as people rotate out. Keep me posted! xo
I know! I guess the beauty and the curse of us is that we're all over the world! Giveaways are fun but I want EVERYONE to get something, so there's the struggle there. I'll think of something! xo
Hi Cathy! That is SO nice, thank you so much for the kind words! It really made my day. I'm thrilled you'll be going to Osaka again and I hope you have a wonderful time there with your Mom in your thoughts! Thank you for joining the link-up, too! I can't wait to read your post! XO
