HI THERE, I'M BECKY
I’m from Cincinnati, Ohio, and my journey to Japan began when I took a leap of faith after spotting a teaching opportunity at a career fair. With no knowledge of the language or connections in the country, I packed my bags and set off for a one-year adventure—much to my family’s surprise!
Ten years later, I’m still captivated by Tokyo’s endless wonders. Through this blog, I’ll share my experiences, from hidden gems in the city to travels across Japan and beyond.
