________________________________________________________________________

After 11 years in the corporate world, I have decided to take a career sabbatical. We finally started our journey, leaving Perth Australia on 3rd November 2022 for Malaysia and Japan.

We initially planned this back in 2016, soon after Tokyo was named the next host city for the 2020 Summer Olympics but COVID affected our plans. In 2021, we decided to revisit our plan and make some adjustments. After a few negotiations and lots of planning, I was approved for a 15 months sabbatical.

We will spend most of our time in Japan immersing in the local culture. I want my children to experience the rich local culture and learn about life where their mother was born and raised.

We will be sharing more videos of our adventure in Japan!
