Thanks to the news and general media, Pakistan isn’t always the number one travel destination for travelers around the world. Most people are scared off by the possibility that something bad may happen.
However, this Japanese artist has made her way over to Lahore to prove to her country that Pakistan is a great place to be.
Except not in the way that you may think…

It’s not easy to just pick up your things, leave everything you know for something completely foreign. The fact that Yuki herself left and took the initiative to explore the world around her is complete bravery in itself. How many of us can see we have the guts to do that?
Oh and apart from her confidence, she is an extremely talented sketcher, too.

Not only is it great to see other people enjoying our country so much, but spreading it’s beauty and culture in such a fun way over social media is the best thing we could ask for.
LOVE YOU YUKI!
