Hello! - Life In Wanderlust

Welcome!

Before I start sharing my adventures, I wanted to tell you a little bit about myself and how I ended up here.

I was born and bred in Tokyo, Japan in a multi-cultural family. My Mother is American and my Father is Japanese. While in Tokyo, I was lucky enough to be enrolled in an International School with students from over 55 countries, which made my upbringing even more diverse. Even luckier for me, my parents loved traveling. We traveled abroad multiple times a year and needless to say, I learned to love it.

Fast forward several years, here I was in Los Angeles, having lived in 2 continents, 5 states and 8 cities, I still hadn’t had enough. I traveled as much as I could in the last few years but I was slaving away in the corporate world. I abandoned my freedom, hobbies, relationships and health.

Earlier this year, something personal happened to me and I decided to do the unthinkable. To my boss’s surprise, I turned in my notice and closed the door to my office in downtown Los Angeles. I’ll never forget driving home in tears that day not from loneliness and frustration but for once, from relief and happiness.

So here I am, a few months into occasionally working remotely but mostly traveling, mending old relationships and making new ones, without really much of a plan other than knowing I want to – you know, keep traveling!

I’m incredibly excited to be chronicling my travels and sharing it with family, friends and all you travel-lovers, dreamers and wanderlusters. I hope you’ll join me!
