Hi there. My name is Julia and I'm new to the author-tube community. I'm a teacher, writer, and travel blogger. I lived and worked in Japan for 1 year as an ESL teacher., and I speak some Japanese (about N4-N5 level) It was one of the best experiences of my life. I'm also a self-published author who writes grim dark Young Adult Fantasy. 

I also love to travel. I went to Israel on my Birthright trip. Other places that I've visited outside of the U.S. include Singapore, South Korea, The Philippines, Bali Indonesia, Italy, Toronto Canada, and Malta.  I talk about writing, self-publishing, books, my Japan travels, and I might occasionally post some teaching stuff. 

Other fun facts about me:  

My favorite authors are Sarah Addison Allen, Maria V. Snyder, and Kristin Cashore.
My job- I'm an adult ESL teacher,
My hobbies- jewelry making, fencing, kickboxing, archery, photography, rock climbing, horse back riding, and of course reading.
Food- I love spicy food and Ichiran ramen.
