I am Jill, a Filipina mom living in Yokohama, Japan.

After almost five years of dating, I married my Japanese boyfriend in 2016 and left everything behind to start a new life in Japan. What I thought would be nothing but an effortless adventure filled with sushi feasts and Shibuya nights turned out to be a bit more difficult than I expected.

I created this YouTube channel to help out other clueless gaijins out there tackle the more challenging aspects of life in Japan — such as learning the language, being a foreign parent and, well, choosing the best sanitary napkin.
