Hey there, folks! I'm Luis, your friendly neighborhood host in Fukuoka, the city that stole my heart and ran away with it! You know what I love most about this place? Oh, everything! From the easy mid-tempo vibe that keeps me grooving to the walkable streets that save my feet from becoming pancakes! Fukuoka's friendly nature is like that hilarious buddy who's always up for a good time! Festivals? Modern or traditional, count me in! I'm like a festival magnet; you can't keep me away! I'm your go-to guy for Fukuoka's nightlife, and I'll take you to all the hidden gems, the back streets with surprises waiting around every corner. You name it, I know it! Local foods are my obsession. I've got a love affair with every delicious dish this city has to offer. So, join me as we explore the vibrant and diverse city together!
