For the first few years on Medium, I was a 'reader' only. I liked writing but I preferred to take a back seat at first and just enjoy the reading from all the brilliant writers on Medium. And I still continue to do so each day.

Per my profile blurb, I was born in Canada to Australian parents and returned to Australia when I was 2. At 22 I left Oz and embarked on my dream of living in Japan. 25 years later I lived in Seoul Korea for 3 years before moving back to Canada after receiving a job opportunity.

This has been a 'full circle' in life and has blessed me with a lifetime of experiences and I enjoy sharing. After I dipped my toe into the writing side of Medium, I realised that my niche landed on anything Japan, specifically the philosophies that I learned (and continue learning). There is so much to share that sometimes my fingers simply can't keep up when I write.

So let's connect, and share our tales, experiences, loves and heartaches and use these to help validate and enrich our lives.
