Hi, I’m Lotoya!

I’ve visited 37 countries on 5 continents 👣 🌎

I figured out when I was pretty young that I would never truly be happy with a typical 9-5 and white picket fence.

At 22, I moved to Japan to teach English and since about 2013 I’ve worked remotely with stints as a digital nomad in Europe, Africa and South America.

I share my journey of building a life of freedom and escaping the ordinary in case you’re interested in doing the same (whatever that means to YOU) .

I have not been sticking to my normal moisturizing routine so I’m going to give my hair a good moisturizing with my favourite (mostly) natural products.
