Too much volcano…
Don’t lie, you’ve had it stuck in your head just as I have.

Well guys Journey Across Japan: The Lost Islands is officially here!
In the first insane episode we flew over Japan's most active volcano, threw Natsuki in a waterfall (and lost his beloved pants) and even saw a goat.
Before I get into it, I just want to say hello and welcome to everyone who’s recently joined the Abroad in Patreon in the run up to Journey Across Japan: The Lost Islands!
This community has been a big part o...
Welcome to the weekend!
With Journey Across Japan: The Lost Islands upon us next week and a huge, ominous 30 minute Abroad in Japan episode titled "12 Reasons Not to Move to Japan" out later this weekend, I'm looki...
What a weekend.
Half of it spent with Natsuki, half of it with Connor (CDawgVa). Albeit not together fortunately, that’d be a bit too much to handle.
LOTS of news this week folks.
Here it is folks!

The key word today is horror.

Things got off to a pleasant enough start, as we awoke in Kurokawa springs, where Natsuki enjoyed a morning soak in the outdoor bath, havi...
Having left the island of Yakushima behind we headed back to the mainland. With Natsuki’s pirate pants forever lost at sea, we drove inland to Kumamoto, to the base of Mount Aso - Japan’s largest volcano.

And we're now just two weeks away from beginning the intense production of Journey Acro...
I’m a hypocrite.
A filthy, disgraceful hypocrite.
