-- ABOUT THE AUTHOR --

Penny van Heerden first arrived in Okinawa in 1996 with Emile, who she married in a Shinto shrine that year. The couple came to Okinawa to study the Okinawan martial art, Kobudo and had intended to stay a year. However, Okinawa had them hooked and they ended up staying 5 years. They left Okinawa but returned 4 years later and have remained there ever since. Penny is able to bring her unique perspective, as both an outsider and long-term resident, to this app. She is able to recommend both popular tourist attractions and places frequented mainly by locals.
