Japanese Sue's Travel Diary.

Sue Hi! I'm Sue(Mariko Suzuki), Japanese.
I love traveling very much! When I started travel by myself in 2007, I noticed that world is very interesting, so I have been to more than 200 places in 39 countries so far. I never make any plan where I go, just I follow my intuition and luck. I use my wisdom and dynamic energy for traveling with saving money and enjoying this planet :D
I published the travel book about New Zealand in Japanese already in 2008, and wanna publish more book!! You can learn more about me on my profile

I appreciate your donation for ice cream :D

Nigata, Yamagata, Akita, Aomori and Hokkaido.

I followed Antoine, French guy who had been walking 2000km from south point to north point of Japan. He stayed my house by couch surfing and invited me walking together, so I started walking from Nigata but I got injured in Akita. So I hitch-hiked by myself after that.

I had taken travel tour until then like common Japanese people. Yeah, I was common Japanese~, just common~. Common Japanese people just can take few days holiday when they work. So common travel tour is between 3days to 5days. Now you know why Japanese people takes such a short trip, huh? And also common Japanese people can't speak English at all sadly. That's why they need tour and guide.
