Hello! I'm Ola, a passionate traveler, history enthusiast, and a big fan of Japanese culture. I’ve spent years exploring the traditions and symbolism of Japan, from its serene gardens to its fascinating customs. When I’m not guiding, you’ll find me practicing yoga, enjoying a good book, or searching for the best cheesecake in town! I speak multiple languages and love connecting with people from different cultures.
