I have always had a fascination with Asian culture and sought to learn as much about it as I could during my teen years. When I was 18 I attended university for about a year before I decided to leave it in pursuit of making a living as a musician. Time moved on and even though I am still a musician and very active in the world of music I decided late last year that I wanted to go back to school for what I originally intended to do with my life. I plan on getting my bachelors degree and my TEFL certification so I can relocate to Japan and teach English in schools. I want to eventually obtain citizenship in Japan and live a happy life. I have been told I am pretty funny at times and even though I can be shy and sometimes awkward I do enjoy making new friends and learning many new things. I hope by using italki I can not only learn such an amazing language like Japanese but make many native friends and plant the seeds of friendship in hopes that once I relocate I wont be to alone right off the bat. I am a very good listener and am very serious about learning. My schedule is very open and being an insomniac I am usually awake at night which is the daytime in Japan. I thank you for your service and look forward to meeting/working with you!
