Emily is a freelance writer who has been living in Tokyo since 2014, having spent her childhood here before moving to London. As a travel writer for the Rough Guides, she traveled around the world and still thinks Japan is the weirdest and best place she's ever visited. She loves reading, running and exploring Tokyo (or anywhere) with her two sons.
