She’s a 5-year member and, as well as using HelloTalk to learn English, she’s also using it to learn Spanish and French. Her first Moment post on HelloTalk was way back in 2017 and her posts cover events and topics about her niece, her wedding, kickboxing, and her two round-the-world solo motorbike journeys. Although she traveled alone, she explains that she never felt completely isolated, thanks to HelloTalk. She also said that, although it might currently be difficult to travel, you can still go virtually anywhere on HelloTalk, and immediately connect with like-minded people. Through HelloTalk she made friends regardless of age, gender, and nationality. It was also through HelloTalk that Katana Girl Miki met Yuki and Dan, at the HelloTalk meet-up in Osaka, and they continue to meet every month! Her adventures also saw her travel to Kyoto with Yuki and Emily and she then met tourists from Brazil in a coffee shop through the app. They quickly became friends, thanks to the fact they all study English using HelloTalk.
