Johanna (Jo) is the writer and creator of Japan with kids blog, The Tokyo Chapter. Jo has studied Japanese since the beginning of high school in Australia and has lived in Japan on and off for more than 12 years - including one year as a high school exchange student. Jo, a self-professed language nerd, has lived in Japan as an exchange student, a language school student, a hotel concierge, an executive assistant, an interpreter.... and now also as a wife and a Mum. Jo's blog, The Tokyo Chapter, developed as more and more friends (and then friends of friends) asked her for "Japan with kids" and general Japanese cultural etiquette advice. Through her blog stories, Jo shares Japan travel and packing suggestions and first-hand language & cultural 'big sister'-style advice. Jo is passionate about sharing realistic, culturally sensitive, "bet you didn't know this was here!" Japan travel (and daily-life Japan tips) for families.
