Introducing the Creator of Romancing Japan
I've lived in Japan for over 30 years and created Romancing Japan to share my experiences. Originally from Australia, I've taught in Japanese schools, from junior high to university, for more than 15 years. My experiences in Japanese culture and education in Japanese language go back to the 1990s. I've traveled all across Japan and have deep knowledge and love for Japanese culture and lifestyle.
I'm a full-stack web developer, which came from a deep interest in technology. Because of this interest, I have also done research on how computer use is percieved in Japanese tertiary education. My work has been published in academic journals. I have two master's degrees from Macquarie University in Australia, one in Research and the other in Applied Linguistics and TESOL.
Through my travels and experiences, I share what life in Japan is really like, from understanding housing to finding hidden cultural spots in the Kansai area. Whether you're interested in exploring Japan's beautiful cities or learning more about daily life here, my goal is to provide helpful and accurate information so others can enjoy Japan's amazing culture and lifestyle.
