Hello!

Hi! My name is Ariana!
My friends call me Ari.

I'm American but I live and work in Japan... for basically all of my adult life.

I enjoy spending a lot of my energy and time on fitness, skin care, gaming and eating.

I created this to share with people via postcards that I send around the world on Postcrossing 🙂

OMG fooooooooddd!

I love sharing recipes! ...even if they aren't healthy 😅 If you have a cultural dish, please share it with me!

My favorite food is a dish called "Chicken Nanban", it is really easy to make, and takes me like 5 minutes!

A peek into my life in Japan

I live 30 minutes from the beach (Enoshima and Zushi), 40 minutes from a mountain I love to hike (Takao-san), and 40 minutes from downtown Tokyo, where my office is - in Shibuya.

Here is a live-cam of the famous Shibuya crossing. Anytime you see footage of Japan in media, it's almost always going to include a shot of this crossing... (the video owner keeps breaking the link. so try this link if the video doesn't show)

I go here, like, ALL the time.

Oh... and I'm OBSESSED with foxes!

Japan is home to some cool fox tourist locations!
The famous Fox Village is found in Miyagi, and similarly there is also the Fox Farm in Hokkaido!

Here is a video showcasing Miyagi Fox Village!

I hope someday you can have the opportunity to check it out!
