Hello, I'm Tad! I'm a clinical psychology graduate and during my studies I specialized in helping children with developmental disorders, something I am still passionate about to this day. During my university days, I got a taste of the world through a study-abroad program in Australia, which sparked my love for cultural exchange.
After graduating, I spent two years in Australia, traveling, working, and discovering the beauty of that vast country. This experience also helped me appreciate Japan's unique culture.
Having been bitten by the travel bug, I backpacked across 17 European countries. Upon my return to Japan I became a rickshaw runner in Kyoto and a licensed English guide for Kyoto City.
I'm here to share Japan's culture and history with you and ensure your stay is as memorable as the warm welcome I received during my travels abroad.
