CURRENT MISSION Live every moment to the fullest! ABOUT ME I've spent the past 9 years living in Japan as a student, English teacher, and explorer. In Japan I've travelled to all 47 prefectures, made millions of friends, enjoyed countless moments, memories and laughs. Most of my time was spent living in the Japanese countryside of Gunma and the deep Kansai streets of Osaka. One of my favorite things to do is to speak Japanese and enjoy a beer outside with friends. I'm currently learning how to surf and am an avid mountain climber, cyclist, and camper. I just moved to Bali and am currently signing up for language courses here and trying to get a job. Indonesia is a really special place and I am taking time to explore it more now. Looking forward to learning as much as I can about this lovely country! Outside of Japan, I've traveled to 12 countries and am absolutely head over heels for Mother India. India is the best live show of raw humanness in the world! The colors, the smells, the people, the food, the animals, the trees, the fields, the sounds of laurie trucks, and autos in the street. I LOVE IT! I am traveling around Asia for 8 months from July 2015 and intend to visit 9 countries. I want to experience as much as possible and meet as many people as I can. I believe that people are the reason for traveling, not just famous buildings or sacred sites. People make our world and our world is a beautiful place!! I love meeting new people, having fun, eating awesome food, drinking good beer, learning, watching documentaries, reading, hiking, being outside, camping, and having a laugh! I love being outdoors - in the park, on the beach or on a mountain. 日本語も話せるやで！ PHILOSOPHY Positivity! It's all you really need! :)
