Ōe, Yamagata, Japan – April 19th, 2025.
Through elementary school I was the only foreigner the village had ever seen. I come back now from Seattle, WA solo traveling and reflecting on how these experiences changed my worldview.
What a beautiful time of year it was. It felt as if I time traveled and nothing changed. But everything about me was different.
Thank you to all the people who helped me along my journey and were rooting from afar.
This was one of my most cherished moments of all time. The peace and joy to spend 2 days of biking through where we biked so much as little kids. Praise God for the unique life path he used to develop my character.
Man I love this place.
