"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been, and there you will long to return."
- Leonardo da Vinci
Hey, all! I'm Yanni.
Welcome to my international blog! I hesitate to use the words "travel blog," as a lot of what I write about won't necessarily be about travel, per se. Though I'm working abroad, I don't think I'm traveling- just living. Living, and learning what it means to be truly internationally and culturally aware.
And this is the place where I'll ramble about it!
As of now, I can only speak two other languages besides English: French and Japanese. And when I say "speak," I mean only at an intermediate level! I'm also studying Italian and Greek, but not nearly as intensely as French and Japanese. My next project will probably be Russian.
I currently live and work in the rural reaches of Japan's smallest main island- Shikoku. I teach English at a middle school here through the JET Program. But this isn't my first rodeo in Japan- in high school, I took a tour with my school. My other experiences abroad include leisurely tours around Ireland and Italy, and in college, I took an intensive French summer course in Nice, France. Have I had my fill of travel yet? Never!
So... Care to join me on my adventure? Follow along!
