As we’ve traveled the world for the past few years, DEM Flyers has collected a list of bookmarks of places we’ve been and either researched or experienced. I’ve done a major update of Trips Suggestion Index, spanning 35 places across 16 countries!

As some people may know, I moved to Japan in early 2020 and I feel like I’ve successfully established myself. I’ve also spent time in Taiwan throughout the years and am starting a phase of splitting my time between Tokyo and Taipei so that I can explore my roots.
