Creative Director at Japan Travel, based in Tokyo.

I am a Thai woman who has spent half of her life in beautiful Ottawa, capital city of Canada. I enjoy crafting, gardening, photography, bicycle touring and my new found love blogging. You can visit my blog (In Thai) at here It is a beautiful site. The name Ban Suanporpeang means 'Humble little village'. Thank you for dropping by.

Trained journalist who's not yet jaded. Can't get enough of meeting new people, the view, cheap travel, cherry-blossom-flavored food, dinner&drinks. Painfully addicted to Japan's gochya-gochya machines. If you're the type of person to try something new vs. something you know you like, we'll get along. I'm originally from the USA. Now in Chiba Prefecture, and August 2016 marks two years in Japan. I've worked in journalism/newspapers for more than 5 years.
