about me

Hey! I am the least confident person to do this (blogging) but I wanted to share my travel experiences, opinions and tips, hoping this would be interesting and useful.

My friends call me gori, and I am an interactive media designer focused on development; also I try to be a photographer and an illustrator (and now, blogger).

I’ve always had a great fascination for Japan and its culture since I was a child. One of my biggest dreams was to travel there, and in 2019 I finally got my chance; everyone said I was a bit crazy (maybe) but I made it, with really little money, I crossed from Tokyo to Kagoshima Prefecture (the southernmost one) mainly by bicycle and camping all along the way.

You can check my Instagram profile, where I’ve been posting photos from the journey across Japan since then (I hope I’ll end someday): @go_r1
