While living on the island she has also discovered awamori, the local tipple. “That has become my favorite drink, and I only wish that I could find a way to get it back in the U.S.,” she confesses. As for the best thing in Okinawa for her, she says “I think my friend Ryan is the best thing I have found in Okinawa during my time here.”
Before leaving she would like to have a chance to visit Yakushima in Kagoshima Prefecture famed for its ancient cedar trees, and Aogashima, the southernmost inhabited island in the Izu archipelago.
