About me:

Hey, Y’all!

Welcome, welcome!

My name is Trish and I’ve lived in Japan for about 10 years now. Almost six of them were spent in Nagoya, Japan and the rest here in Tokyo. I make videos about living and working in Japan, general anime nerd things, a little bit of Japanese and a whole lot of “Y’alls.” Expat from Texas (a Tex-pat, if you will). Come on in, sit down and stay a minute, won’t ya?
