Q1
- Why did you want to study in Japan?
- I've been interested in Japanese culture and language for a long time, and I believe it's a really enriching experience to spend time abroad. I had traveled to Japan before and thought that it's a beautiful country with a lot to offer, so I wanted to come and study here.
Q2
- Are you glad you came to Tokyo?
- Yes. I really like Kyoto, because it's not too crowded but still big enough of a city to have a lot of things to do. Not only traditional culture, but there's a lot of other activities to do and restaurants to try out.
Q3
- What is your dream for the future?
- I want to work at an international company focused on political relations. I enjoy meeting people from other countries and I want to do something meaningful, so this would be a perfect combination of the two.
Q4
- Tell us about your current study or research.
- I recently graduated from university with a major in Development Studies. I learned a lot about global politics and the economic situation of different countries. I'm especially interested in the environment and combating climate change. This is why I did my Bachelor's thesis on the topic of recycling.
Q5
- What is your MOTTO?
- My motto is "Try everything at least once." You can never know if you like something or not unless you try it for yourself. I especially like doing this with food, but it works for most other situations too.
Q6
- Please give a message to students who are considering studying in Japan.
- If you are interested in Japan, just take a chance and try it. You will definitely learn a lot and make memories to last a life time.
