I went to Kobe for the last few days of my Out There Adventure and whilst I was there I managed to attend yet another Japanese Top League match where the Kobelco Steelers played Yamaha Jubilo. This match was an absolute blowout, Kobelco Steelers beat Yamaha 99-17.

A few days prior to the match, I was able to attend a Kobelco Steelers training session where I caught up with Andy Ellis and Dan Carter. It was the highlight of my entire 6 weeks away to see Dan again, as the last time I saw him was in London in 2015.

Catching up with Andy and Dan, seeing the match was probably the biggest highlight of my 6 weeks around the world, and I’m glad it was the last thing before I went back to Australia that turned out to be the best thing.

Since I’ve been in Israel, the hottest topic of conversation for me is,

“Is Israel really safe?”

To be honest from what I saw, it was just as safe than any other country I’ve travelled to.

I do believe that the media has a huge influence in how they make Israel look like and how people think it’s unsafe and a bad place to visit.

From my experience travelling there, I will be recommending it as a destination to visit, and I am already planning a return visit in early 2020.

So 2017 has been a bit of a roller coaster. I’ve been battling an auto immune disease so I spent a lot of time trying to learn to manage it better.

Hospital stays, invasive testing and days off work was a very long an arduous year.

Best thing was definitely knowing that I could take the positives out of this year, being on media for the Brisbane Global Rugby Tens, going to see the BNZ Crusaders in Melbourne and then watching them on my iPad 2 months later whilst in bed take out their 8th Super Rugby title.

I then spent 16 days in Japan, I might of broken my toe but it was the best experience to be part of, with the highlight of rolling up to a Kobelco Steelers training session and also a Panasonic Wild Knights game and surprising some friends who play rugby in Japan.

2018 is shaping up for some good things, heading to Christchurch to see my partner, Lana is one of those highlights, going to Perth in 2 weeks is another, but my big one is heading to Dublin, Berlin, Israel, Palestine and Japan in September/October/November for a 6 week adventure I am so looking forward to the most.

Bring it on.

I am so excited I head to Berlin today in this vlog!

Berlin is undoubtably my favourite city I’ve visited as there is a wealth of history and also its kitsch culture that lures me back!

Today I get my bearings again with a free walking tour with Sandeman’s and head to Tempelhof Airport where you can sit on the runway of one of the coolest state parks in the world!

Whilst I was in Hiroshima I decided on a few days off to catch up on vlogs and have a bit of R&R after I had been sick for a good chunk of my Japan adventure.

Whilst I was there I shot discreetly my time in a Japanese supermarket just to show the difference compared to a typical Australian or New Zealander supermarket.

I definitely recommend visiting one as not only are they a great way to save money when travelling on a budget, it’s a great way to learn on typical Japanese groceries and some shopping ideas to use when in Japan.

After a few days working on vlogs for you guys in Nagasaki, I headed to the Atomic Bomb Memorial, where I learnt more about the second nuclear weapon that was used in warfare.

The museum itself was quite full on and in some parts a bit gory, with some body parts on display and also a full on understanding of how parts of Nagasaki look after the bomb exploded.

After the museum I visited the hypocenter memorial and the Peace Park, which again was a moving experience.

To me, to visit the memorials, it was a moving experience and something that gave me a bit of closure and understanding for myself.

I always believe that no textbook, website or lecture will ever do a place like this justice and I always believe you need to visit these places to understand better.
