I am starting a blog so that I can journal on-the-go and those who are interested can share the amazing sights and scenes that I will be experiencing while on my 3 week journey to Japan. I am going thanks to the generosity of the Japanese Government and the Fulbright Foundation through a program called the Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund. It is also thanks to the great support I have received from Friends Academy in allowing me to participate in this trip in the middle of the school year!
In a little less than a week, I will join 199 other US teachers in San Francisco to start this voyage.
