My younger sister Karen and I have been traveling together- and apart our whole lives. When we were younger, we moved around a lot and were very close. Now that we are both older and in school, it is harder to find the time to hang out and we are not as close as we used to be. We both love to travel, and recently decided to take a trip to Japan. Neither of us speak Japanese which presented us with a bit of a challenge. We were forced to rely on each other and really had an awesome time. We have found that experiences like this has brought us closer together.
