Hi, I’m Tanja and I’m originally from the UK. After eight years working in tourism in London, I packed up my life in the UK to move some 6000 miles east to Japan. If you want to know more about my personal journey, you can read my story if you like.
I moved to Japan in 2015 and spent two years working as a freelance writer and English teacher on the island of Shikoku, before making the move to Tokyo in 2017.

Hello Tomoko, thank you so much for reading my blog and your kind message! Sushi making sounds really fun but I am in Shikoku right now so I won’t be able to make it unfortunately. I am planning to move to Tokyo next summer so please keep in touch for future events!
Thank you for your reply.
That’s too bad! But we’ll welcome you at our future another event in Tokyo!
Take care!
