In exactly one week from now, I will be flying off to adventures new in Japan. I’ll be spending 6 months in Fukuoka, learning Japanese full time, exploring the city, making friends and exploring new boundaries. It will be something completely different from my daily life in the UK and I’ve very few preconceptions on how it will all go. Will I enjoy the thrill of constantly being exposed to new people, concepts and culture? I certainly hope so, but it is in the not knowing that a real adventure starts.

So as I start this new challenge, I would like to take the time to document the journey. Partly it is for myself, to reflect on later, and partly it is for you, someone who might be interested in what I discover in Japan. I’ll update as often as I have anything to share and I hope you enjoy following along!
