My Travel Story

Recently, I have changed my entire life so that I may teach English in Japan. While I am so happy that I changed, I spent 3 years of college in the wrong major and lost a lot of time and opporunities. It has been a few years since I have seen my family in Japan, and I want to go so that I may improve my Japanese language and so that I may spend a little time with my family, while also paying respects to my recently passed grandfather.

I have applied for a couple of study abroad programs to go to Japan, but I am definitely short on funds. I know this is a hard time for a lot of people, but if you have any amount of money available I would be extremely grateful.

    Hello, all! If you were thinking of still donating please hold back from doing so. I unfortunately won't be able to attend classes in Japan this Summer due to some setbacks. I may still be making a trip, but largely for cultural experience and leisure if I do. Thank you for the support and the little bit of money in donations. For the person who did donate some money, please tell me who you are (privately if you'd like) so I can return your money in full.
