About This Blog

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Thanks for stopping by.

My name is Rochelle and I’ve been living in Hokkaido, Japan since 2004. I came here right after I finished college and fell in love with the country. I was lucky enough to be placed in Sapporo as my first job posting.

Everyday, I pinch myself just to make sure I’m not dreaming.

I am so blessed to be living in such an awesome place.

This blog is dedicated to life in Hokkaido, particularly when it comes to travel, food, and just daily life. I do give some tips and ideas on where to travel and visit, but I also post a lot of food pics and lots of random things that fascinate me about life in the northernmost island of Japan. If you’ve traveled to different parts of the country, you’ll see that Hokkaido is unique and quite unlike the other areas of Japan.

Me, loving the cold weather at the Christmas Market in Odori Park, December 2018 (With apologies to the random dude who got caught in my selfie 🙂

Again, thank you for stopping by. I hope you’ll explore with me as I share with you my adventures in Hokkaido.

Happy reading!
