Chubachi's new book, 'World Travel Girl: Becoming friends with 7 billion people.' 

Back to nature 

“That’s why when I went to India, when I went to Africa, I didn’t feel special -- sleeping outside, eating everything, drinking river water, I never felt strange, it was really natural”, she explains.

Living at home with her parents in Kanagawa, Chubachi is energetic, gregarious and especially excited about her recently published book, “World Travel Girl: Becoming Friends with 7 Billion People.”

Asia, Europe, North and South America, Australia and Africa are all marked on her map. Special mentions go to Jamaica and Mali.

“The first time I went to Jamaica, I went for one month and I lived in the ghetto with some, ah ... very, very poor people -- it was so much fun,” she recalls.

In Africa the biscuit was her savior. “You know in Africa they think that biscuits stop diarrhea? I ate a lot! I didn’t want to, but they said ‘eat, eat.’ So, I ate and it stopped.”

Her travel experiences include wild weather too. Her book shows a photo of a nosebleed due to 50 C heat in Africa. 

Self-sufficient 

Traveling light, Chubachi doesn’t tote a backpack, but a small bag the size of a cushion. She carries about three changes of underwear, her passport, yellow card vaccination certificate and next to no makeup.

“I wash my underwear everyday,” she says with a big grin, rubbing her hands together in a washing motion.

Chubachi says many people, particularly publishers, want to know about the seedier side of her travels in dangerous areas.

“That’s why it was difficult to publish my book -- they want to know just the dangerous parts. That’s why when I was trying to publish it, I was thinking about why I didn’t have any trouble.”

“If you don’t bring your Japanese rules with you, you’ll never get into trouble. If I follow African rules -- what I eat, what I say -- then I’ll never have trouble.”
