Background
Travel, Culture and Japan
I’m a Tokyo-based travel and culture writer with a love for rural regeneration projects, unusual festivals and unique personal stories. I create (largely) Japan-focused content ranging from practical guides to in-depth features.
Living in Japan for six years has given me some amazing opportunities to explore and learn about the culture and traditions that make Japan unique. Paired with a deep understanding of what visitors seek out on their travels, I can craft inspiring and informative pieces in a range of styles.
While I’m by no means a photographer, I enjoy taking photos to accompany my articles and am learning as I go.
Projects
I cover a range of topics and styles, (almost) always with a focus on Japanese culture, community and trends.

Me
I grew up in North Wales and later moved to Sheffield where I studied English Literature. I received a first class degree and moved to Japan a year later, in 2014.
