美麗的流浪者：前世界小姐的旅行鐵則-下 (圖文來源：CNN Travel)

Chubachi just wants to see the world and help people.

Chubachi was only struck down by major illness once, when she caught malaria in Mali last year.

The former beauty queen just gets tougher and tougher, as once you have malaria you can’t get it again, she tells us.

When her New York apartment went up in flames during her year there, she lost almost everything. All that was left from the fire was her passport, with three days left on her US visa, and a ticket to Jamaica. No choice, but to travel on.

Looking ahead

Back in Japan now, Chubachi talks of her dream to build a school in Mali as the logical conclusion of her experiences. The fact that she studied elementary-school teaching at university also plays a part.

“I think education can save the world, that’s why I want to build a school in Mali one day. That’s my dream,” she says.

“I want to help less-fortunate people -- they’ve treated me well, so I want to help them back.” Words to live by.
