Ever felt like you don’t quite belong — but somehow end up exactly where you’re meant to be?

That’s me. Every day.

These are some of my stories about life as a foreigner in Japan — from how I ended up here, to awkward cultural misunderstandings and the quiet moments that make it all worthwhile.

Whether you’ve lived in Japan, dream of coming here, or just enjoy funny stories about everyday life — I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I enjoyed remembering them.
