Description

I’ve travelled through Europe, Russia, Mongolia, China and South Korea by land (and sea) to finally reach Japan!
I’ve spent one year in Japan in the past and wanted to dedicate one more year to discover other aspects, such as the countryside, the agriculture, the craftsmanship… but also to meet people, learn about their life story. And improve my skills in Japanese language!
