ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year-old Canadian from Vancouver. I am living in Japan teaching English as a second language. More specifically, I live in Kamikatsu-cho, a town of 1500 people on the island of Shikoku. It has been ranked one of Japan's most beautiful villages. My goals are to learn Japanese,travel throughout Japan, Asia and the South Pacific and experience as many cultures and meet as many people as I can. I like a slow paced lifestyle, enjoying the present.
