I've spent the last 9 years pursuing things that have made me truly happy. This includes visiting Japan in 2010 and again right now in 2019. I spent 2 years working as a dog trainer and running a doggie day care. My interest in food took me back to Pennsylvania where I spent 2 years working on an organic farm, learning how to grow and sell produce, make cheese, yogurt, bread, tofu, soap and lotion. I hiked 2,181 miles in 6 months, and spent 3 years teaching people how to get outdoors safely and enjoy nature while hiking and camping.

教，学，和分享

I would love to learn more Japanese, and more about the history, culture, and hidden places that only locals know about. Let's share ideas, music, food, and friendship. I can teach you about the English language. Help with cooking and share some of my favorite recipes. I can also teach you about how to hike and camp safely in all weather conditions.
