Hi, I'm Lay. I would describe myself as an optimistic, easy-going person who loves trying out new things! After my studies, I came to Japan in late 2014. I fell in love with the history and culture almost immediately. Osaka is definitely the place to be because of the unbelievable architecture, friendly locals and delicious food! It's the perfect combination of authentic and modern. In my free time, I enjoy roaming the streets of the city and getting lost in the hundreds of side alleys. Let me show you why I live and love it here. Every day is like a mini-adventure.

    Lay was an exceptional guide and made our day in Osaka relaxed, enjoyable and …filled with samples of so many Japanese culinary delights! She made us feel “at-home” in Osaka, sharing some of the more personal and day-to-day experiences of living in Japan.

    Lay was fantastic, and took me to several tourist spots within Osaka. Along the way she shared interesting history and facts about the city which helped enhance the experience. We visited the shopping precinct and the food markets also which showed greater insights into the culture. A great day and I would recommend Lay to anyone who visits Osaka!
