📍Japan 🇯🇵

Chongqing, you’ve been a workout and a wonder
🐾
Every day here feels like leg day, hills on hills, staircases climbing forever, and views that make the climb worth it, especially when there's afternoon tea with BaoBao involved 🐻🐼🇨🇳🫖🍵
🐾
They don’t call it the City of Fog for nothing. With more than 100 foggy days a year, the thick air drapes itself over old streets, temples, and parks, turning them into something straight out of a storybook
🐾
It's a city of contrasts, of sweat and serenity, of chaos and calm. Farewell for now, Chongqing you’ve left me breathless in every sense

Only in Chongqing can you watch a train glide stra Only in Chongqing can you watch a train glide straight through an apartment block!
🐾
The city is a vertical wonder, metro stations inside bridges, roads curling around cliffs and staircases that never seem to end. It’s like an architect decided to play Jenga with a city. One moment you think you're on the ground, next minute you're actually 20 stories up in the sky
🐾
Chongqing is dizzying, dramatic, and full of surprises and I can’t stop looking up, down, and sideways all at once

Steaming hotpot, neon lights, and a city that neve Steaming hotpot, neon lights, and a city that never seems to end. Hello Chongqing!
🐾
This place is a food lover’s dream. Everywhere you turn, there’s something sizzling, steaming, or being slurped. I even had hotpot in an old bomb shelter, and let me tell you, it was fiery 🌶️🔥
🐾
The food here isn’t just spicy, it’s loaded with hundreds of chilies and those famous Sichuan peppers that leave your tongue tingling with that numbing buzz. A challenge for any bear, but delicious all the same
🐾
When the sun goes down, the neon lights flicker on, painting the city in glowing reds, blues, and golds. Chongqing, you’ve set my taste buds tingling and my eyes sparkling, I can’t wait for the next surprise

Morning strolls make the best starts 🐾 I wander Morning strolls make the best starts
🐾
I wandered through Chengdu People’s Park in Sichuan, China 🇨🇳 where locals sipped tea, danced, and played mahjong beneath shady trees
🐾 
One man even poured tea from a long-spouted pot with moves somewhere between kung fu and a dance, it was mesmerizing to watch
🐾
From there, I took the local bus over to the shrine of Wu Hou, dedicated to a wise chancellor from the Three Kingdoms era. Surrounded by towering trees and ancient stone carvings, it felt like stepping into another time
🐾
Chengdu balances calm and history so beautifully, I could happily stroll here every morning

The thing about Chengdu is you’re never too far The thing about Chengdu is you’re never too far from a panda 🐼
🐾
This city is famous for its laid-back vibes, spicy hotpot, and of course its black-and-white furry superstars. Everywhere you look souvenirs, murals, statues... pandas are part of the heartbeat of Chengdu
🐾
And yes, I did meet a real one! Big paws, fluffy ears, and the most relaxed bamboo-chewing technique I’ve ever seen. Truly the celebrity of the city
🐾
Chengdu, you’ve already got me grinning like a bear who found an extra jar of marmalade

Hello China! 🇨🇳 🐾 First stop: Chengdu, l Hello China! 🇨🇳
🐾 
First stop: Chengdu, land of spicy hotpot, historic temples, and of course… pandas (I hear they’re quite the celebrities here)
🐾 
And what a welcome, I was greeted by these beautiful girls in traditional costumes, smiling brightly and making me feel right at home before I’d even unpacked my sandwiches
🐾 
The streets are buzzing, the food smells paw-sitively irresistible, and the adventure feels bigger than my suitcase. Not a bad way to start my China journey

Few last sandy pawprints before I leave 🐾 Koh S Few last sandy pawprints before I leave
🐾
Koh Samui has been all sunshine, salty fur, and lazy days floating with my duckie. From morning swims to mango snacks on the beach, every moment has felt like a holiday inside a holiday
🐾
Between sweaty Muay Thai sessions at the gym and a few cheeky naked dips in the sea, this island has truly seen all sides of me. Don’t worry, I kept my hat on
🐾
Until next time, Koh Samui, you’ve been a dream

Turns out my comfort zone doesn’t come with a pu Turns out my comfort zone doesn’t come with a punch bag
🐾 
Today I swapped my beach sundowner for boxing gloves and tried Muay Thai at a local gym here in Koh Samui. So much to remember, but the teachers made it great fun (and very sweaty)
🐾 
Learning something new is never easy, but it’s pawsitively worth it. I may not be the fiercest fighter in Thailand, but I did manage not to punch myself on the nose, so that’s a win
🐾 
Here’s to being active, trying new things, and keeping your paws next to your ears! 🥊🐻🥊
