From the classroom to the streets of Kyoto: My Japan Journey by Hamdi Mohamud

For Hamdi, her first trip to Japan felt like a dream, especially as she navigated the country completely on her own. A homestay quickly became the highlight, giving her a welcoming family and access to hidden local spots she would not have found alone. She loved exploring Osaka freely, enjoying new foods and the independence of wandering without a plan. With interactive classes, fun field trips, and lifelong friends, her study abroad experience became even more meaningful than she imagined.
