About this blog

Hello, everyone!!

As you probably already know, I'm living in Japan teaching English to high school students here at Kita Otsu High School. My adventures will extend far beyond the walls of this school, so for that reason, I will keep a blog. Feel free to comment or post questions about anything I write. I would love to hear from you!

Copy and paste to check out a map of where I am here:

I live in the Kansai prefecture. :)
