I grew up in a middle sized town in Michigan, USA. I was fortunate enough to have amazing friends from many different countries ~ Japan, South Korea, India, China, Hong Kong, France, Burma and so on. Getting to know them and hear their stories about "life back home" inspired me to leave my midwestern town and see the rest of the world. After college (2014) I got a job teaching ESL in Japan and hope to continue my journey to another country when my time in Japan in done. :D

Interests

Tennis is the love of my life and I will take up any chance to play with anyone anywhere. :)

I also enjoy sitting down with good friends, delicious food, some alcohol (of course!) and trading travel stories or talking about different cultures around the world.
