Wanders by RealMairie
HELLO!
My name is Mai
A Filipino-Japanese solo traveler and content creator based in Tokyo, Japan. I share my travel experiences from quick weekend escapes to long, immersive journeys around Japan and beyond. Expect cozy accommodations, insider tips on lesser-known destinations, and cultural stories that go beyond the guidebook.
Let's wander together!
Wandering the World
My travel journey began in 2017 with a simple goal: to visit as many Starbucks stores in every country I traveled to. Over time, that little adventure turned into something much bigger, a passion for traveling and a way to explore my interest for photography. In 2019, I took my first solo trip abroad to Taiwan, and that experience changed everything. I realized that traveling was so much more than just sightseeing. Since then, I've visited 15 countries (and counting!).
Discovering Southeast Asia
My early travels were all about Southeast Asia’s rich cultures and stunning landscapes. I packed light — just dresses, my phone, and a trusty clicker — and set off from Vietnam to Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Along the way, I found myself fascinated by the stories locals shared and the art hidden in everyday moments captured through my lens.
Rediscovering Japan
Though I’ve called Japan home for over ten years, it wasn’t until the pandemic that I truly embraced the beauty of every corner of this country. I made it my mission to explore all 47 prefectures — from the vibrant cities to peaceful countryside — uncovering hidden gems and seasonal wonders that surprised even me.
