Kon'nichiwa! Hello! My name is Kevin Dikdan. My parents were born in Lebanon and South Africa, and I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. My childhood was filled with different cultures, beliefs and delicious food. I loved watching shows where people would travel the world, meeting new people and trying all kinds of food, and my dream was to do the same thing one day.
I study business and anthropology at Brandeis University in Boston, Massachusetts. I decided to study abroad in Tokyo so that I could see what life was like in another country. While I was in Tokyo, I learned how to make Japanese pottery, went on adventures with my new friends, and explored all around Japan. I can't wait to show you all of the amazing experiences that you can have when you step outside of your comfort zone!
