I have been born and raised in America.Though in this country there is diversity. I wanted to explore other cultures by going to the heart of the land itself. Japan was always first on my list to explore and learn more about. I do have family in said country but it has been very hard to keep in touch with them, while the time difference is an issue. So I'm hoping to be able to see them on my journey when I eventually make it there. Though I have made efforts to go in the past but due to unforeseen circumstances it has been hard to gather nessisarry to be able to fulfill my curiosity and have a reunion worthwhile.
