Hello friends and fellow Gaijins! My name is Isabel I’m a twenty-three-year-old living in Melbourne Australia. I have always had a passion learning about other cultures and I finally had the opportunity to travel for the first time overseas in Tokyo. When my boyfriend suggested Tokyo as a possible destination to visit for our first overseas trip together, I was a little apprehensive. I had never travelled outside Australia and didn’t speak any Japanese. I didn’t know if I could handle the chaos of a big city like Tokyo and the cultural differences. However, I was very surprised at how much I loved Tokyo and Japan. It was an eye-opening experience and a memory I’ll always cherish. The purpose of this blog is to help other travellers in Tokyo gain confidence traveling particularly if you’re a beginner and also just to share some of the fun adventures and recommendations I have. 

Japan can be a daunting place to travel let alone if you are a beginner traveller. So, I want to help you make your trip go smoothly and hopefully create memories you will also cherish.

(The majority of the photos I’ve chosen for this assignment are my own from Tokyo. However, I have also used free photos from Pixabay, Unsplash and Pexels. I have also cited the majority of these photos in my exegesis document.)
