I am Ali, and I am excited to share my passion for travel and culture with you. As a passionate traveller and explorer, I have been fortunate enough to visit many incredible places around the world, and I love nothing more than sharing my knowledge and experiences with others. For the past three years, I have been living in Hiroshima, Japan, immersing myself in the local customs and traditions. I have been selected as "Tourism Ambassador" in Hiroshima by the Hiroshima Tourism Association. 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. What sets me apart from other hosts is my ability to connect with people from all walks of life. My passion for hiking and photography fuels my desire to seek out the best the local area has to offer, and I am committed to sharing my insider tips and local secrets with each and every client.
