A little over a half a year ago, I half-jokingly suggested to my sister that we should go to Barcelona to go to Primavera Sound (edit: it has been brought up that my sister actually mentioned Primavera Sound earlier than this. I don't remember this but I am assuming she is correct because I have a pretty bad memory). That night we ended up booking flights to Paris. Barcelona and Paris were so photogenic that we ended up walking everywhere just to check out all of the cool street art and alleyways (one day we walked 28 kms and I don't think my legs had ever ached so much). We had some great food, saw some great dogs, and got to listen to some great music. And - Killer Mike gave us a shoutout in the middle of Run the Jewels' set. One heck of a trip.
Adriana and I spent a couple weeks in Japan mostly wandering around looking out for good food, nice light, and cute dogs. None of these were really too hard to find.
There's something I really enjoy about not actually having any plans when travelling and just being spontaneous. Yes, sometimes you need to have an itinerary but for the most part I love just wandering aimlessly around, soaking in whatever comes into fruition.
Going to Taipei with my sister was an absolute blast. I have been to Taipei before but I never quite experienced it this way. For one thing, the weather was much more bearable this time so actually walking around all day did not make me feel like melting. The fact that my younger sister is so passionate about food made eating a much more important part of the trip, something that I greatly appreciated. Every interaction we had struggling to overcome the language barrier was another fun memory that we could laugh about at the end of the day.
In short, I really love Taipei and it was a blast being able to explore it with someone I care about so much.
