Marina Lizio is a data scientist and a writer. 

As an expat in Japan, she kept track of her daily struggles, first impressions, and cultural shocks by posting regularly on a blog titled ‘Nihongo wakarimasen’ – I don’t understand Japanese.

‘Nihongo wakarimasen’ is also the title of her first book, a memoir of her 13-year experience living and working in Japan as a foreign woman.
