About Me

Hello! I'm Kumi, a Japanese digital nomad.
I'm from Japan but left there 5 years ago (sometimes I visit though)
I'd worked Philippines for 1 year and 3 month , after that, I've been wandering since Jan 2014. (Hopefully forever)
I'd like to expand my world through different culture and I'd like to become able to live anywhere!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not rich person at all, my income is usually less than 500USD/month, but I've been wandering the world and survived for more than 3 years!
Some people may think it is stupid , but now I have quite much experience and beautiful friends around the world... if I had sticked to stay in Japan to earn money, I couldn't get it :)
