Hi there! My name is Hyomi. I'm American, and grew up in New England, between Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I have a mixed background, with an Irish-American father and a Japanese mother. I love traveling, and learning about other cultures as a result! I have been to about 20 countries, on five of the continents, and hope to continue to explore many more! I am a returned Peace Corps volunteer from the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), where I spent two years developing educational programs and community health initiatives. I received my Bachelor's in International Relations at Tufts University, and my Master's at Columbia University in New York. I am currently working in Guyana for an international development organization, where I live with my Guyanese husband Godis. We both love to create music, and enjoy art, architecture, cultural learning, and good food. We have two sweet cats named Podrick (Game of Thrones, obviously) and Shena!
