Aria Suzuki

After a 25-year corporate marketing career and raising a daughter who's now in college, Aria reconnected with her Japanese heritage through a solo trip to her grandparents' hometown at age 45. This journey awakened her passion for documenting disappearing cultural practices and geological wonders, leading her to transition to remote digital marketing work that funds her extensive travels. Her blog began as a way to share her experiences with her daughter but evolved into a respected resource for mature solo travelers seeking meaningful cultural connections.
