I'm passionate about sustainable travel a a great way to promote international understanding while building stronger communities & economies, preserve culture, crafts & lesser-known travel gems.

I love old houses that are loved and brought back into use, I adore vegan wagashi sweets and shojin-ryori meals, but most of all I love the community spirit of the great people who choose to make Japan their home.
