In 2016, I began my new life in Japan.   It was a long road and process to get here filled with emotion and difficult decisions.  It was also the best decision of my life.  Follow me and others like me as we talk about making that decision.  What was involved, why we did it, how we did it, and more.  If you are toying with the idea of moving to Japan for a few years, moving here permanently, coming for a study abroad, or just wanting to visit, then we hope this blog can help you make that leap.  We hope you fall in love with this country as much as we have.
