Overcoming Solo Travel Stereotypes with Jessica Korteman

To kickoff 2019, I invited the lovely and adventurous duo of Jessica Korteman and Hai Huynh for coffee and a chat. They are freelance travel bloggers now based in Tokyo. You can read and see their captivating photos of their trips to over 50 countries and 6 continents on their travel blog,  Notesofnomads.com Alongside, they work with Instagram Japan ( @instagramjapan ) as Instameet managers for Japan. Organizing meetups on a monthly basis, it gives shutterbugs a chance to meet and share their passion while visiting local spots that most foreigners don’t know about. I think it’s a wonderful chance to use a social media platform to bridge a foreign and Japanese community together instead of inducing users to be habitually self conscious.   Jess has also recently started a new blog, Travelsoloanyway.com , a unique concept geared to people who are interested to solo travel even if they are in a relationship or just downright nervous about the idea.   Join us as I ask them about what made them come to Japan and what’s their experience like living in Japan. Although my path coming to this country is different from theirs, I quickly discover that we share very similar experiences.  Also we share visions of Japan’s seemingly endless travel destinations to future visitors and new inhabitants. You can reach Jess and Hai on all major social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube) by searching @notesofnomads and @travelsoloanyway--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/madeinjapanpodcast/message
