Ikumin– Author –

My name is Ikumin! I love traveling, eating, and taking pictures! After returning from a working holiday in Australia, I went on a solo trip to Southeast Asia. I enjoy traveling alone, taking inexpensive airline tickets and cheap accommodations, and when I'm satisfied with one place, I move on to the next. Since around 2021, I've been traveling mainly to hotels in Tokyo and other parts of Japan. I have visited the U.S. West Coast, Hawaii, Guam, Australia, South Korea, Shanghai, Beijing, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, Italy◇ I use a Nikon Z 50 camera.
