Moeka
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Born and raised in Kawasaki, Moeka knows Tokyo's west side like the back of her hand. A shopping guru with a passion for Japanese beauty, she truly geeks out over it, from the latest skincare drops to limited-edition collabs, alongside fashion finds and unique local buys. She's also a foodie who uncovers the real gems: hole-in-the-wall cafes, neighborhood kissaten, and restaurants locals love but rarely hit the usual guides.

Thiệu
Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
A HCMC native, Thiệu is always excited to lend a hand, show you around, or help bring your plans to life. Despite having lived in Vietnam all his life, he speaks exceptionally fluent English and is incredibly easy to chat with. Passionate about art and design, Thiệu is a fun local to explore creative neighborhoods with, go on photo walks, discover new shops and galleries, or simply have great conversations along the way.

Shintaro
Location: Tokyo, Japan
Originally from Chiba and now living in Saitama, Shintaro commutes to Tokyo regularly and knows the city well. His half-Filipino background sparked his curiosity about different cultures, and after visiting the Philippines, he became passionate about learning English and connecting with people from around the world. With his easygoing personality, genuine curiosity, and passion for fitness, soccer, and acapella, Shintaro brings a fun and positive energy to every experience.
