What Is a Global Buddy?
A Global Buddy is an international university student living in Japan who joins Tomoni International programs at Japanese schools. You don't need to be a teacher — you just need to be yourself. You'll have real conversations with Japanese students, share your experiences, and show them that the world is friendly, interesting, and within reach. Your story is enough.
