美麗的流浪者:前世界小姐的旅行鐵則-上 (圖文來源:CNN Travel)

 Akiko Chubachi, back home in Japan for once.

Since taking the Miss Universe Japan crown in 2007, Akiko Chubachi has continued her own brand of hotel-free globetrotting (some might say slumming it), embarked on a new career in TV and even has plans to build a school in Africa. More of that later.

Having traveled solo to more than 30 countries in the past nine years, this 29-year-old adventuress has fed off global goodwill, yet is humble about herself and her achievements.

She has no qualms about the fact that she originally came third, but ended up with the MUJ crown anyway after the two poll-toppers moved either up or aside.

Years before the glamor arrived, her outdoorsy leanings were clear. On childhood forest walks, she and her cracked open beehives to eat freshly plucked larvae that were “collagen-” or “royal jelly-” like in texture, Chubachi says.
