About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently... Enjoying Japanese life and getting paid to play.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Western North Carolina, moved to the Pacific Northwest. Got tired of living a stable life so took off to Asia. Spent 1 year teaching English in Korea, then 6 months traveling across Asia. Tried going back home to restart the stable life, but was bored very quickly, so now I'm back in Japan, and am happier than ever.

Currently I running an outdoor recreation / adventure business operating tours of all levels in the Kanto area of Japan. Details are available at http://www.kantoadventures.com
