I got an article I wrote in GIGAZINE for 1 year without me

When you travel, you will want to tell someone the excitement. Scenery that you see by yourself is good, but when you can share it with a lot of people, heartless joy begins to emerge. For me the series at GIGAZINE was the best means.

World newspaperA special reporterKeihito Kiyais. I am in wandering abroad, I am in the southernmost tip of India Kanyakumari. From here we aim for Chennai and we plan to head to Cambodia.

Kanyakumari is around the red sign

The cape in Kanyakumari. It is where the three seas collide, the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.


When I think about it, I started writing articles at GIGAZINE when I got this DM from Mr. Atsushi Matsuzaki of the world newspaper desk just before I got on the trip.

"Hello, Matsuzaki who was followed for a while ago, I read Prof. Prof, Kiya, are you interested in writing or writing?" (From October 31, 2012 on Twitter)

I was a little puzzled (I never did a writer or something ...), and answered with the momentum "Yes, I am interested!" After that, we met with the desk and asked them to do the series with GIGAZINE together.

The thin and light MBA was an unavailable entity to write articles while traveling.


Below are the ten books that had a lot of response from 20 articles I made while traveling. All of these I picked up the story (interviewing) and created it in the form of desk editing.

I chewed Mexican cheese that 'sake cheese' referred to in the field


"There are many things that wish to doubt the eyes," a Japanese entrepreneur who started in Guatemala talks


I tried a diving license at 28,000 yen for 4 days at Utila island in the Caribbean


Costa Rican cosplayers who can not help feeling the patos to Japanese anime


Dr. Banana of Ecuador talks "Why there is no banana hunting in the banana"


I came to Ecuador's "thief city" looking for an stolen iPhone


I got delicious piranha caught in the Amazon River with soup


Enjoy something different GYU-DON (beef bowl) in Brazil's Sukiya


If I go around the backpacker world I will send this one day


I went to the "Indian Grand Olympic Games" held in a village without electricity and water


Hey I wrote it. Every article is something and memorable.

I am thinking, I will think about thinking "to do a lighter while traveling" in this answer to the question from the desk this time.

Q:
I have made 20 articles so far, but what was the impression of trying a writer with GIGAZINE?

A:
Anyway I enjoyed having fun the best. Looking for the story, writing it interestingly while consulting with the desk, asking the reader that. It is nice to be not self-satisfied but my journey remains in shape.

I always interview this kind of feeling.


It is difficult to take self-shooting many times (laugh)


Q:
What do you think is good to write with GIGAZINE?

A:
Many people can read it by putting articles on GIGAZINE. I think that it is quite experienced experience with personal blog that we can share excitement with many people. The rest is impressed when I meet at some point on the road with someone who has read my articles occasionally.

I am drinking with a friend of Brazil. Traveling alone is also a good thing, traveling is the real pleasure of being able to share emotions and pleasures in this way.


Q:
On the contrary, what was tired of writing with GIGAZINE?

A:
Because it is a serial series, there are deadlines by all means. I have traveled for 1 year, but I have never been conscious of the deadline. Because I always wanted to do something, I disliked the deadline or I did not care much.

Q:
What are the merits of writing articles while traveling?

A:
I think that the sensitivity of the antenna to things is sharp. Even something that you missed if you travel normally, there are always unexpected discoveries and encounters when you are always trying to find the story. Also, it was nice that I could organize my thoughts by outputting as an article.

I was able to respond to advertisements on the roadside that are often overlooked ......


Actually watching this advertisementCosplayers of Costa RicaI went to cover the.


Q:
What are the disadvantages?

A:
In order to write an article on the assumption that people will read it, we have to secure a certain amount of time. I do not recommend it for those who really want free time or want to leave anything from Japanese society.

Sometimes it is necessary to relax.


Q:
What is the most impressive article?

A:
Covered in Costa Rica "Costa Rican cosplayers who can not help feeling the patos to Japanese animeThis is an article. There were thousands of participants at the event, but it was the moment I saw how Japanese culture is spreading abroad. Also, since the Costa Rican people who are doing the cosplay are so cute they are super cute (laugh).

My face is smoked, but this is also in the interview (lol)


Q:
Which article do you think is "having a hard time" to make?

A:
Even if you find interesting stories, it is quite troublesome when you do not know the approach to that. For example, I wrote in Ecuador "Dr. Banana of Ecuador talks "Why there is no banana hunting in the banana""Article. I do not know the means of contact, I do not know where I should go, etc. There are occasionally cases of Naine's making. As a result of doing our best we could indirectly introduce it, and this interview was realized. There was a challenge, but it was a laborious job.

Mr. Masahiro Tanabe of the farmer gave me really well and told me the banana plantation from corner to corner.


If you travel normally, you may not have opportunities to visit such places too much.


Q:
What have you learned from doing writers? How do you feel like using it in the future?

A:
The first thing is to "tell people." Before the expression, there must be a receiver. I think that it is not limited to writing articles but this can be said commonly in various work. Whatever work you do, you can not avoid telling people.

Q:
Bukkake, what kind of desk is it?

A:
A man who loves articles more than three times of rice ...... (laugh). Since the story and expression range is wide, I always depend on it. Perhaps I wrote an article by myself, I think that my heart was broken somewhere. Occasionally it will be unbelievable occasionally, but because it also loves articles (lol)

Well, there are reasons why this is a summary content ...

Actually ... ... I will return to Japan in March !!
