Florida Newbie
How and why we moved to Florida from Hawai`i. Yes, you’re probably wondering why and who does that. Unless you already moved out of Hawai`i too.
Travelling
We love to travel and explore new places! Come along with us on our explorations 🙂 Most of these will be Florida, not gonna lie.

My family has lived in Hawai`i for four generations. We may move back some day, but for now we’re the first generation Floridians of the family.

About Me
I’m just a regular, Japanese-Okinawan-American, born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii.

I’m a wife, mom, designer, small business owner, Shotokan karateka, and writer.
New-ish resident of Florida.
Loves BTS, travel, exploring new places and things, video games, anime, and manga.
