12 November 2017 The most perfect day. Witnessed a traditional wedding, warmly welcomed by the locals whilst passing their farms to get to the beach, and watched a beautiful sunset with a loved one.

Last night’s sky that cast a pink shade over everything. Just had to stop and take in this beauty that we often overlook.

Ahimsa 🙏🏼 Broadly defined, it means non-violence. Abstinence from causing any pain or harm physically, mentally and verbally, and extending compassion to all living creatures. We should all practice this ✨

Itsukushima Shrine

Didn’t manage to walk up to the great tori as it was the high tide but it was just as lovely from afar.

Miyajima Island

Spent a day away from my travelling buddies and went all the way to Hiroshima and this lovely place which is just a ferry ride away from Hiroshima. 

I’m so thankful I decided to take one of the earlier ferries to this island! By the time I was done exploring, the crowd coming in was horrendous! 

Much misses for my carefree days 💕

Fushimi Inari Shrine

Didn’t manage to climb all the way to the top as it was getting dark and chilly but it was still a lovely way up. Initially I thought walking in those footwear would be difficult but surprisingly it was manageable haha 🌺

Side note: 3rd week into the working world and I have realised the value of Public Holidays 💫

Intense crowd with a side being renovated, but just as mesmerising.
