I’ve been living on this beautiful island called Okinawa for 1 year now. It has been one of the most challenging choices I’ve made to move to a country that I do not know the language or the culture, but luckily for me the locals are very friendly, tolerant, and patient, and often understand english.
Looking back over my time here, I regret not making more of an effort to learn the language, something I plan to address very soon, but I’ve also learnt a lot about Japan, and Okinawa and the people that make this place so enchanting.
This post is just to share some of the photos of Okinawa, which capture my time here and also to assist me in reflecting on the allure of this island.
These represent but a fraction of my experience here, but are all windows to times I’ve felt happy, wonder and at peace.
I’m not sure how long I’ll be here or where I may go next but these photos remind me that beauty can be found everywhere and anywhere, you just have to open your eyes to it.
I expect that I’ll pause here a while longer, as I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
