Jamaica to Japan
About My Journey
This blog explores my life experiences from Jamaica to Canada and Japan, sharing insights and stories that shaped my identity.
From the Jamaican sun to Canada’s “why is it so cold?” winters, to the vending machine wonderland of Japan — this is my life in motion.
I’m Alyhanna, an educator navigating life across borders, cultures, and identities. This space holds the stories, reflections, and everyday moments that come with leaving home, starting over, and slowly figuring out what it means to belong — sometimes everywhere, sometimes nowhere, often somewhere in between.
If you’re curious about life abroad, education across contexts, or the beautifully awkward process of becoming, you’re in the right place.
If you’re interested in education, growth, or life lived across borders, you’re very welcome here.
