病院ICU病棟ナース、産業保健師・行政保健師、医療系海外ボランティアを経験。その後、法人団体でナース兼第一種衛生管理者として働きながら、大学院に通い国際保健を学ぶ。現在は同法人の海外オフィスで、看護職として職員等の健康管理に従事しています。
医療職としての経験は15年以上。
これまで日本と海外、病院・職場・現場のすべてで「もしもの時、何が本当に困るのか」を数多く見てきました。
海外で体調を崩した時、言葉が通じない医療機関に行く不安、薬が簡単に手に入らない不便さ、移動や環境の変化による体力の消耗――
そうしたリアルな経験があるからこそ、このブログでは教科書的な医療情報ではなく、実体験に基づいた視点で、旅と生活の「安全・健康・安心」について発信しています。
このブログは、
✔ 海外在住・海外旅行経験のある方
✔ これから日本や海外を旅する方
✔ できるだけ体調を崩さず、安心して旅を楽しみたい方
に向けて、「知らなかったせいで困らない」ための情報をまとめています。
医療職だからこそ伝えられる、少し先を読んだ準備と、無理をしない旅のヒントが、あなたの旅や海外生活の助けになれば嬉しいです。
I have over 15 years of experience as a healthcare professional, having worked as an ICU nurse, an occupational health nurse, a public health nurse, and a medical volunteer overseas.
While working as a nurse and a certified Occupational Health and Safety Officer, I also completed graduate studies in Global Health. I am currently based overseas, working at an international organization’s overseas office, where I am responsible for health management and support for staff and related personnel.
Throughout my career in Japan and abroad — in hospitals, workplaces, and field settings — I have repeatedly witnessed what truly becomes difficult in emergency or unexpected situations.
I have personally experienced the anxiety of becoming ill overseas: visiting medical facilities where the language is different, struggling to obtain familiar medications, and dealing with physical exhaustion caused by long-distance travel and environmental changes.
Because of these real-life experiences, this blog does not focus on textbook-style medical information. Instead, I share practical, experience-based insights on travel and daily life from the perspectives of safety, health, and peace of mind.
This blog is for:
✔️ People living abroad or with overseas travel experience
✔️ Those planning to travel to Japan or other countries
✔️ Anyone who wants to enjoy travel while minimizing health risks and unnecessary stress
As a healthcare professional, I aim to share practical preparation tips and realistic, no-pressure travel advice — so that you won’t be caught off guard simply because you “didn’t know.”
I hope the information here helps make your travels and life abroad safer, healthier, and more enjoyable.
