Hi there! I’m Moose — originally from Japan, but living in Toronto, Canada for over 15 years.
On this blog, I share first-hand stories and practical tips about studying abroad, traveling, and building a life overseas.
I’ve explored 15 countries and 30+ cities (and counting!), always chasing new experiences and hidden gems to pass along to fellow travelers.
Fun fact: I speak both English and a mix of Kansai/Banshu dialects Japanese— so expect a blend of cultures, humor, and local insights in my posts.
