I like to do hard things. Learning the Japanese language and culture is a fascinating challenge. I went to Tokyo back in 2007 and it was one of the most interesting trips of my life. I'm planning on going again in the next year or two. I bet a lot has changed. Since then, I have been involved with the Japanese community in Chicagoland. We do have a lot of Japanese people here. There's also a lot of Japanese restaurants and cultural events. As for the rest of my life, I work in the marketing industry as a freelance copywriter. I like camping, hiking, running, and martial arts. Favorite music: Rock, synthwave, electronic Favorite movies/TV/books: Cyberpunk, Sci-fi, UFO documentaries, science topics. I also used to be a college English as a Second Language teacher, so I would be more than glad to help you with your English. Let's talk!
