I started my travel life at a young age. My childhood includes several years on an island in the Pacific Ocean. Getting on and off the island required a plane. So I was already a seasoned traveler by the third grade. In college, I returned to my love of travel when I visited Japan for the first time. Since then, I have made over 10 trips to Japan and spent nearly 3 years in the country. I work in marketing to share Japanese goods, services, and culture with America.
