Traveler Bio

こんにちは (Kon-ni-chi-wa) (Hello) My name is Isaac Alexander and I am 21 years old from Lincoln, Nebraska. Growing up in Nebraska, I spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoors, playing different sports, and spending time with family and friends. I'm currently going to college at Nebraska Wesleyan University which is close to where I grew up, and I am studying Biology. I hope to use this Biology major to go to Pharmacy School. I also work at a hospital as a pharmacy technician, where I help pharmacists prepare medications and learn about how medicines are used to help patients.

For the past couple years I've been studying Japanese. I became interested through Japanese music, culture, and media. In less than a month I look forward to studying abroad in Nishinomiya, Japan. I can't wait to share all of my experiences with you all and learn about your journeys as well!
