Danny Tanaka a Japanese-Peruvian (TCK) realizes that it’s not always that easy to find a place to call home.

Danny shares with us what it was like to travel and live in Japan, the home country of her paternal grandparents, why she still continues to travel the world and how this has made her into the person she is today. Her words of advice is that home could be a place within your mind and maybe not necessarily a physical place on the planet.
