While studying in Tokyo for a semester, I aimed to live by the quote: “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” Because of that, I have gotten to experience incredibly fascinating things and meet amazing people. Tokyo almost feels like a second home to me now. I am immensely thankful for the opportunity to have experienced the beauty of Japan and its rich culture.
