Lesson 09: Cutting Hair around the World with Sanae Watanabe

Like so many travelers, Sanae Watanabe grew up as the only one in her family with a passion to leave home and see the world. After becoming a hairstylist in Tokyo and eventually opening her own shop, Sanae took the opportunity to move abroad and work in a high-end salon in London and then even in the ever-changing world in Shanghai. We hope you enjoy listening to Sanae’s stories of exploring her passion for travel and a world far different from her native Japan.

What we cover in this episode:

• Being the only “traveler” in the family
• Getting outside of the comfort and safety of the familiar
• Why Spain is a wonderful place to visit
• Making the most of terrible travel situations
• Bringing the comfort of your home along with you on your travels
