Hi! I’m an American Expat currently living in Okinawa, Japan. I moved here in Nov 2024 from Italy, where I had been living for the 4 years prior. I live with my partner, Francisco, whom is also an expat that I met in Italy 3 years ago (edit: he moved to Tokyo, but will periodically visit me in Okinawa—you may or may not meet him). Together, we have a passion for traveling and really enjoying the culture of the countries we travel and stay in. I think we have traveled to 35 countries together now (I lost count)! I also live with my two lovely feline lifelines, Luna and Gio. They are quite the adventure cats. What I love most about travel is the perspective it provides and the enamor and awe one can experience through it. I want to do what I can to facilitate that experience for other travelers and find like minded free spirits that are just passing through.

I am English Teacher, working in Kure, Hiroshima. I am also doing my postgrade so sadly no time to travel this year 😭, but I am more than happy to host. What else do people say 🤔...oh I am very friendly, love washing every food container and I am surrounded by dying plants, honestly they are mocking me, My one plant has been in stasis for a year, green as grass, and yet, no new leaf (super power I tell you, it creeps me out a bit)

Hey!! I’m Yurino originally from Japan!! I’m planning a solo trip to London in September, and I’m looking for a lovely girl let me stay at her place:) I’m planning to go to Ireland on the 12th to visit my friend in Cork, and will be back to London in 26th for the connecting flight to Japan! I would be open if you wanted to have me between 12th-26th also if return to London earlier:) I am also thinking about going to Paris in the third week of September, feel free to contact me😉 I’m a uni student(language nard lol) learning Spanish, and English:)
Visiting Tokyo with my family was great, the food, the people, the clothes, the public transport.. honestly everything felt so clean and safe. I think anyone should visit Tokyo at least once in their lifetime, if they have the means to.

Japan is generally safe. I mean, a lot of Japanese people approached my friends and me about South Korea, but always respectfully, and I never felt uncomfortable. I didn't really have the budget for this trip because it was truly the trip of a lifetime that I had wanted to do since I was very young. But with the flight, accommodation, and expenses, I reached a total of around 4,000 € for 3 weeks. I think that's pretty reasonable; with a different budget, I was able to do all the activities I wanted to do (except DisneySea, which I didn't have time for). But I was able to visit a total of 7 cities (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Nagoya, Tokyo, Mount Fuji, and Kamakura). I think I could have saved a few hundred euros if I had organized a little more in advance. The food is really, really good; you will eat very well for a price of about 10 € more or less. Every morning, I would stop at konbini stores like 7-Eleven, and you’ll find plenty of things to try, good or not. For activities, I was able to do: Universal Studios, Ghibli Park, Tokyo Drift, and Pokémon Café. I list them as activities because these are the ones I had to book in advance, sometimes even a month ahead. I was able to visit many temples and do a lot of shopping. On this note, everyone says it, but I also advise you to leave with almost nothing in your suitcase. Personally, I took way too many clothes and bought a lot from thrift shops, so I had to limit myself due to space. But you’ll find really good deals — some shops had clothes for 500 yen, others more depending on the brand. Next time, I’ll only bring four outfits; you can even buy things like socks, underwear, etc., over there — everything can be bought cheaply and is much nicer. I recommend Osaka for buying all your figurines because that's where everything was cheaper compared to other cities. As for nightlife, there was only a small district in Kyoto, but in Tokyo, you have a lot of choices, especially Shibuya and Shinjuku, the best neighborhoods. We stayed two stations from Shinjuku, but taking an Uber back cost about sixty euros, so plan to either stay really close to the night neighborhoods if you go out or wait until 5 a.m. for the subways. In any case, this won’t be my last time in Japan; I definitely plan to go two or three more times at least.
