While we've been weathering the remainder of our lockdowns, one family has been taking advantage of a rented RV campervan to explore Japan without the tourists, after arrriving into the country just in the nick of time. We asked them about how they've managed it so far, the concept of worldschooling, and the glorious experiences they've been documenting on their Instagram @thegalavantingfamily!

Long-time Japan fan and British travel writer Jo Davey started off her time in Japan in an enviable industry - food! Many years and many Japan itineraries later, she’s writing a guidebook to Okinawa and Japan’s Southwest Islands and biding the time until we can all get back there. She explains to us how she delves beneath the surface of a destination, why it's usually the people not the places, and what makes Japan precisely the place she wants to write, talk and wax lyrical about for a living.
