As we heard her story we spoke about:

- What it was like doing a university exchange to Japan during her university degree
- Why she didn’t think she was initially suitable for mission
- Challenges of cross-cultural overseas mission
- The helpfulness of missionary agencies
- Why it's helpful sometimes to not have an exact country in mind when thinking about overseas mission
