Two Shores One Story is a casual, yet, informative podcast that showcases my authentic experiences as a Canadian who is currently in rural Japan. Having experience living on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean before and a decade of Japanese language and cultural knowledge, I aim to share insightful perspectives of Japan every Wednesday. If you are interested in Japan, whether that be the culture, language, music, food, or anything else under the rising sun, this podcast will have something for you to learn.

Last week, I took the BJT, the Business Japanese test. So, I wanted to compile all my experiences -from applying to doing the actual test- into one episode since (I think) many people do not know that this test exists. S
On August 1st, I did something I'd never though I'd do.... speed dating. It ended up being a fun experience and.... a success in some ways! (Find out how on today's episode!)
July 26th is a special date for me because it's the date that I left Japan. So much has happened in 8 years. More than I could have imagined. Would past Matthew believe that he'd be eating dinner and watching a Netflix s
Are you ready to dance? I hope so because it's bon odori time! If you don't know what that is, don't worry. I have you covered. I did a little research about bon odori (and what an interesting history it has) along with
Hope everyone is dealing with the crazy heat right now! I'm ready for it to be fall so that I can be comfy and wear my long sleeve clothing. There is something nice about looking forward to things and this week, I have a
Yesterday I took the JLPT N1 exam.... for the fourth time. You'd think by this time I'd have everything under control, but no, that's never the case. It was an emotional roller coaster. I'm not certain that I passed to b
Hello everyone! It's the fourth week of June! Can't believe it. At the time of recording this episode, it was Father's Day so happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I hope you had a great day. Today, I wanted to s
Last week, I ran into some difficulty because I'm trying to apply for repayment assistance (student loan stuff), but I can't get into any of my accounts because my phone number is no longer in use.... the joys of two-fac
Hello everyone! Hope you're doing well. Crazy that it's already June... 2026 is going by so fast. As promised, I wanted to share where I think you should go to (and where you maybe don't need to go) if you are visiting J
The goal of Two Shores One Story is for me to share my experiences of living in Japan as someone from Canada, and for you as the listener to learn something. Well, this week I have something that is definitely educationa
This week's episode is a quick one because I will be with my sister next week (the time that this episode airs). I'm so excited! Can't wait to talk about it on the podcast. Until then, I hope you enjoy listening to two t
Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode. Today, I have a PSA that I wanted to share with you in hopes that you too can save some yen. I hope to share some more "tips" in the future so look forward to seeing mo
Last week I told you about my trip to Tokyo, but the trip didn't end there. I also visited the most northern region of Honshu: Tohoku! I had many adventures there, both in Sendai, where I stayed, and in other prefectures
After months of waiting, I finally got to see Twice! It was most definitely worth the wait. Hear about it and what else I did in Tokyo on today's episode. PS: Apologies for the late episode. Lost track of time today.
Since I am seeing a Twice concert in a matter of a few days, I thought I'd share how I came to know one of the greatest girl groups that K-pop has seen.... plus share some of my favorites from their discography.
Stumbled on a Japanese song titled, "Like a Current of a River" while scrolling through Instagram and it made me reflect on my life. If you're wondering how, make sure to listen to this week's episode! There's that and m
Ah... Mondays. You gotta love them.... or else, you might cry. In my case, this Monday was not the best. Let's just say... things happened (or not?). This week was also not the best in terms of calories because I ate mor
This week, school is finally starting up again. I'm so excited to greet my kids and tell them all about what I did for spring break.... including my trip to Kyoto last Saturday. It was a relaxing trip filled with many cu
I didn't know until recording this episode but I have a special talent of talking about chicken for an extended period time. If you want proof, please give it it a listen! Don't worry, though. I talk about more things th
