Ich bin hier geboren und aufgewachsen und zum Glück habe ich viele fremde Länder bereist. Manchmal reiste ich mit einigen lokalen Führern und all diese Erfahrungen werden für immer mein Schatz sein. Also möchte ich jetzt Erinnerungen schaffen, die für den Rest Ihres Lebens anhalten werden! Ich spreche Englisch und Spanisch (ich habe im Ausland in Miami, FIU studiert), also können Sie mich alles über Japan fragen. Willkommen und ich hoffe, Sie werden eine tolle Zeit in dieser fantastischen Stadt haben!
