Jacob Bowdle
Hi! I grew up near Seattle in the US, went to the University of Washington, during which I studied abroad in Kyoto, Japan for one year, and have spent about 9 years working in Japan since then (except for a couple years back in the US for graduate school). I can tell you about Global Lounge events and programs, or we can chat about Japan or anything you want :)
When and where can I talk with them?
