    I'm Maria, 22 year old exchange student in Japan. I was born in Venezuela, a Spanish speaking country in the north of South America, but have been moving around the globe ever since.

    Out(ed) to parents while in highschool, they still struggle with the idea. Used to be very comfortable around my sexuality, until I moved here.

    Thank you in advance for all your support :slight_smile:

    ようこそ!

    I had to copy and paste that, 'cause I can't type Japanese on this PC.

    Can I ask, how out are you in Japan?
