Quick updates: Getting Permanent Residency in Japan 🇯🇵 and business class flight deals from Asia!

I’ve been quite busy with travel and various other projects recently, so just a few quick updates this week!

The major one is that I had an article published recently in TokyoDev, a well known site for Japan job listings and tech news. It’s about how to get permanent residency in Japan 🇯🇵, would highly appreciate any reads! It’s my first professional writing gig, so I’m pretty proud of this one, and how in depth and informative it turned out.

I also recently launched a project to post Asia luxury travel deals called Asian Luxe Travel. It will be mostly business class flights from Asia, to Asia if there’s a good deal, and sometimes hotel deals as well as other travel news. I've already found great deals from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong to Europe, the US, etc.

I would appreciate any support by following along on various social media channels:
