Bike Chats with an Expat Podcast

My name is Lacey and I'm an American living in Japan with my husband and 2 kids. In my early days living here, I used my short morning commute to call friends and family back in the states. I made those calls from the comfort of my very own bicycle. Those bike chats minutes were salve to my soul and now I'd like to share that same time with you. So, come on with me in my mama-chari (Japanese mom bike) and let's chat!

    14. The Music Episode

    How often do you sing? Is music constantly rolling around in your head? It definitely is in mine! I've even found that the types of songs in my head can be little clues for me to see what's going on in my emotions. Luckily for you, I don't do almost ANY singing in this episode.

    13. Our Moving Story - Japanniversary #3!

    Last week we celebrated the fact that we've been in Japan for 3 years. To say it was hard would be an understatement and to say it's been amazing just wouldn't suffice.
