Silly little passions are the best kind!! I love this so much :) When me and my fiancé went on a trip to Copenhagen and Prague and visited a bunch of different art museums, I became obsessed with taking pictures of all the different cats in paintings. It became like a fun side quest in every museum, and we had so much fun collecting a little album of painted cats haha!

Seemingly small passions really are the best. They bring so much joy. Hunting for those eki stamps across Tokyo sounds like such a lovely adventure. I can already picture you flipping through that little notebook one day and being right back there. That kind of magic is priceless!

Love this 🫶

It's also amazing how the country has made it a thing! I'd be hard pressed to find such a culture in mine 😅

Thanks Sumedha! Honestly, I'm this close 🤏 to pitching a stamp rally as a project to our local authority, similar to how I set up our Little Free Library. It'd be so fun for kids and tourists!

I was just thinking about side quests in life yesterday! I think we need to add little side quests in our bleak daily life to add some playfulness and hopefully, some little happiness.
