I’ve lived in Okinawa, Japan for over 3 years. This is why I love it here

This video was such a joy to put together. How it's already been 3.5 years here I'm not too sure. But the adventures, the ocean, the food & the people have made us fall in the love with this tropical island. I'm not sure how you couldn't to be honest. If we could stay in Okinawa forever, we probably would. Enjoy ✨
