Ubud is a foodie mecca and one of my favourite travel destinations for frequenting healthy restaurants. There is just soo much glorious, nutritious food! And by ‘healthy’ we mean restaurants that offer organic, locally and sustainably sourced, real food. Personally, we’re also looking for restaurants that have an awareness of, and cater to, allergies, intolerances (for us that’s gluten and dairy) and things like paleo, keto, plant-based or vegan.

We’ve been skiing (not very well) in Austria and New Zealand, but had heard amazing things about skiing in Hakuba Japan… Japow, and all that! So, to coincide with our birthdays and our planned cherry blossom adventure, we added a week of spring snowboarding to our two-month itinerary and got to planning. We also tried our hand at snowboarding because, well, that’s what all the cool kids are doing. Oh, and did I mention we were pretty terrible at skiing with limited promise of improvement?.
