Bright Life! Bright Life!
Hello, my little lightbulbs! How are we doing? In my last post, I told you about my recent trip to Amsterdam. I also, in that post, promised to tell you more about a few of the places I decided to eat in during my short two-night stay! I’m big into my cafes, and finding good [...]
Around this time last week I was gathering my things to help out at the JET Orientation event in Kumamoto City. I had agreed to help out at an information booth about living as a veggie in Japan to help other veggies and vegans. Sadly, bad weather meant that this part of the orientation was [...]

If you find yourself in Beppu and you’re after some amazing food and an even better vibe, I would definitely recommend the Veggie Joint. I found it online while scoping out veggie places and was really excited to try. After waiting in my hostel like a loser for them to open at 11am (desperate much?) [...]

If you did read the post, you will have found that Takachiho is rural, boasting miles and [...]
I've been putting off this update for a while, being mega busy and feeling like I wanted to write about other things; but I decided it's important to have a monthly overview (even if it is morbidly overdue). September was my first full month in Japan, I was getting more settled into my house and [...]
If you're like me, you may have thought that being veggie in Japan would be easy. They eat TOFU right? Right… Well, this expectation was already questioned before I moved to Japan. In my pre-move research I found a barrage of blogs talking about how hard it is to eat green in the Land of [...]
