Phew, that’s rather a long title! 
Salutations! The title tells you a bit about me. Additionally, I’m from the west coast, most recently from Los Angeles. I have been teaching English in Japan for two months and love it here. It’s such an incredibly beautiful place, and the people are so kind. (I have taken many pictures, and will send you the URL if you like.) I would highly recommend that anyone visit here, if they have the chance.
Next I hope to visit/live in France. I will be studying French over the next ten months I live in Japan, and hopefully (with help from my French-speaking roommate) will be able to learn a lot in that time. Having friendly people to talk to would help a lot, though! So I’d love to just chat with anyone kind – about France, about Japan, about the monkey leading the United States right now. There is plenty to talk about. Just please say hello, as I would love to hear from and about you!
