I am a 23 year old Graphic DesignerPhotographer. I have a strong interest in and appreciation for Japanese art, music, fashion and culture (both current and historical.) I plan to make a trip to Japan in the near future (possibly next year.) I would like to learn some of the language before I go! I have been teaching a bit myself, but nothing past basic greetings and the like. I would love learning about the language from a native speaker and make some friends as well ^__^

I am really into fashion i love the many different styles out there and hope to become a fashion designer with my own label and clothing line. I would like to go to study in Japan for a couple of years. The language and writing have always been fasinating to me. I would like to meet someone here who would want to help me improve and learn the little i know and study now. I just would love to be able to talk to someone in Japan so to learn the language would be a plus. I also want to talk to all the people of the world. I do like anime but i dont go overboard. I love to socialize with people and talking to them is always fun to meet someone new.
