Description
We are twin sisters from the north of England! We enjoy Art, music and exploring new cultures. We have worked in the creative and hospitality industries and hope to develop our own fashion brand.
What motivates us is meeting new people and exchanging ideas and sharing moments together that we will take with us throughout our lives.
What brings us happiness is being creative but also spending time together and watching the world go by as well as going for walks in nature and in the big cities, exploring food and fashion!!!
We travelled around Japan in 2023, after having the best time of our lives we have decided to stay for a whole year exploring more, meeting new people, enhancing our skills and witnessing Japan's annual events!!!!!!!
We love everything Matcha! and would love to learn more about tea ceremonies!
