My name is Colin and I'm going with my friend Nate to Okinawa in August for 9 days (20th-28th). We are renting mopeds to drive around the island . We have booked our hotels for the first and last days, the other days we will figure out when we get there. We want to meet locals spend time with people we wouldn't meet normally, share meals with strangers and learn new things.
If you live on the island and want to show us something you or your neighbors care about please reach out. Whether its food or just fun things to do please if you have the time share it with us. Especially if you are an old guy in Yomitan that makes pottery, please teach us show us what you love about our home. We will come with American sweets (Though I doubt they are much better than what you guys have there lol).
I'm not usure what else to attach to this posts so i guess a bio about Nate and I would be good. We are both 21 years old and attend university in Boston Massachusetts in the United States. We grew up in the same are and have been friends since we were kids. We host a large Dungeons and Dragons campaign together and like lifting weights. I ride a motorcycle (Ducati Panigale V2) and would love to learn about the bike culture of the island. I'm studying Electrical Engineering and Nate is studying Nuclear Medicine.
This trip is actually Nates birthday present, I save up every year to bring one of my friends some place cool for free. This one seems like it may be my favorite yet. I thank anyone who is willing to help with this trip, any advice or recommendations are appreciated so much. Thank you hope to hear from you all soon.
P.S. I'm sorry literally every photo we have together we are idiots.
