When I was a kid, I always dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player. I played baseball for 9 years and as the years passed by I started to give up on this dream. At that time, I felt like I lost my purpose in life and I started partying and gambling too much and didn’t feel like there was any reason for living. There was also so much pressure around me from Japanese society.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

At this time, my cousin who used to live in Hawaii, suggested to me to go overseas because he had experienced a different world outside of Japan. I did not have any direction, and it was easy for me to follow his advice. I then went to Australia on a working holiday visa in 2011 with only $3000 USD in my bank account. After living in Australia, everything completely changed for me and I realised how much I enjoyed discovering different ways of life outside of Japan.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Since 2011, I haven’t stopped travelling and now my goal is to share my story with people in Japan who might be facing the same pressures that I did. I only knew about life in Japan before I went overseas and I want to show others how big and how diverse the world is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
