Throughout the interview, Alana Bonzi exuded a sense of contentment and

joy in her Caribbean identity; her charming anecdotes and wit constantly

amused me. Alana developed a love for Trinidad when she relocated to

Canada, completed her education, and embarked on various career paths,

including social services. Later, she represented Ontario at the

Universal Expo in Spain before joining the JET program and selecting

Kagoshima as her destination. Presently, Alana resides in Fujisawa and

balances teaching sustainability and corporate social responsibility at

the Keio University Fujisawa campus with running a French language

school alongside her husband.
