During my Uni days in Australia I once organized a speed dating event between tourism industry professionals and student graduate prospects which garnered media attention and I was interviewed for a featurette on prime time news.

My most memorable travel experience was a junior high school student exchange program to Japan where I lived with 2 families over the course of 1 month in Toei (Aichi) and Kawaguchi. I registered for the trip on a whim because some childhood friends, who were studying Japanese at the time, also registered and asked me to come along. This was my first international trip outside of family getaways and I raised the bulk of the package cost through a variety of fundraising efforts. Having grown up in the suburbs, it was an interesting to live in both a remote alpine town, and in the concrete jungle of a major city whilst contrasting what I know about daily life to theirs.
