Adventuring the World
Living abroad and sharing the journey. Travel Guides, tips, and reviews!
Welcome to Maris Around the World
I am currently living, working, and studying Japanese in Fukuoka, Japan! (Where’s Fukuoka you ask? Here are a few posts to learn about this wonderful part of Japan!)
During my years abroad, I have found a love for finding the lesser-known gems of the places I visit, either surrounded by locals and getting to learn about their lives, or peacefully immersed in nature – on a hike or on a bike.
Here you will find stories, musings, travel guides, and more – all culled from my personal experiences of living abroad. From a true travel enthusiast to another, I hope you enjoy!

In addition to travel writing and photography, I design apparel and products! These items have been inspired by my time abroad and feature original illustrated designs in collaboration with himarucreates.
