Seeking a great perhaps

ABOUT ME

Currently taking a Gap year! I will be a student at Dalhousie University, studying International Development. My mind is in Whitehorse, Yukon but my heart will always belong to Kobe, Japan. I have previously traveled to South East Asia, Europe, and lived in Japan as an exchange student in 2012-2013. I speak English, French and Japanese! Now I'm just trying to find a excuse to go abroad and learn my 4th language.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the type of person you want to meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a year of high school in Japan (Which included going to a 100% Japanese school, and lived with a host family). Immersed myself in the language and culture. It was the hardest, but definitely the best year of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

Always up for conversation, and learning about the country I am in! (Who is also a avid baking enthusiast!) Although I am no expert, I do tutor Japanese occasionally, and can also help with English! :)
