She says that she likes her life on the island very much. “This is a great place to live. Bith the beaches and the people here are wonderful. I also like the food with sushi and ramen noodles being my favorites,” she explains.

Although she has been here for some time now, she says that there is still much to explore. “I especially want to go explore the hills and jungles in the northern part of the island, and local castle ruins also interest me,” she says.
