Memories of Japan

Written by Danial Mateen

Memories are a precious gift. Whenever one desires they can go back to those happy moments and relive those experiences without limit. Memories are truly the gifts that keep on giving. Throughout the Japan trip with Caravan Tales I found myself collecting these precious memories with every interaction I had and every site we visited. One of my favorite moments from this trip was climbing the steps of the Pagoda by Mount Fuji and seeing the beautiful fall colors juxtaposed with the towering mountain behind it. The beauty of the scenery and the wonderful conversations on the trek up made it a special memory. Through this trip, I felt the joy of companionship in travel, I learned the culture of my brothers and sisters in humanity, and I caught a glimpse of how diverse Allah (swt) has made the Earth. I'm so glad that I got the opportunity to explore the land of The Rising Sun with new found friends and collect those precious memories.
