This week we have the pleasure of inviting back the stunning Maeve DuVally from New York City and this time around we get to hear her experience in Japan where she got to meet Tiffany for the first time in person during November in lovely Kyoto for a photoshoot in a beautiful kimono!
We dive straight into hearing Maeve’s appreciation on what Japan has to offer especially when it comes to safety, and comparing her past experience living in Tokyo, Kumamoto & Osaka for 10 years and recently coming back to travel for 3 weeks to Kumamoto, Kobe, Tokyo and Kyoto this year. The conversation highlighted Maeve’s journey this time around as an open transwoman and how she feels Japan could be even more LGBTQ+ friendly and being a Vegetarian, the benefits from running and sobriety, and the dating scene. Lastly, Maeve shares what 2022 has been like and the exciting activities and projects in 2023.
