I had the best time!
July 17, 2026by: Briel Delaney - United StatesI am so happy to be a teacher in Japan. My coordinator Amy and guide Tam have been exceptional and I feel so lucky to have their support on this journey. Moving abroad can be stressful so having help from others is a must.
Transforming the world and yourself
January 07, 2026by: Viliami Takau - TongaNestled in the outskirts of Tokyo in a little town called Ryugasaki in Japan, I would come to flourish in my community and change in ways I did not anticipate. After university I had found a desk job in New Zealand. I settled in and gained 50 kilograms becoming overweight. In my first year in Japan I lost those 50 kilograms and returned to my natural weight. I noticed no big difference in my lifestyle except a half walk to work and delicious Japanese food. I picked up the language, I made friends in the neighbourhood. They’d invite me for dinner. Lastly I was privileged to connect with my students. I’d answer their questions about life outside Japan and give advice on decisions to make moving on from high school. A truly transformative experience.
Thanks Viliami for such an incredible story. Honestly, reading about your transformation in Ryugasaki, from the physical change to those local dinners and the impact you had on your students, is exactly why we do this. It’s one thing to teach, but it’s another to truly flourish in a new community. We’d love for you to share this journey with the next generation of teachers over at r/xploreasia on Reddit. Stories like yours are so much more powerful than any brochure we could put together. Welcome to the alumni family, and thanks for being such a badass mentor to those kids! - Mike, MD of XploreAsia
Would do it again in a heartbeat!
