For the past three years, I have been living in Hiroshima, Japan, immersing myself in the local customs and traditions.

As an anthropologist and traveller, I have a deep appreciation for the unique history and culture of Hiroshima, and I am eager to share my knowledge with others. With a background in anthropology, I possess a wealth of knowledge and insights into different cultures.
