  • Description

    Hey there and welcome to my page. :)

    I'm Jolie --- a 26-year-old travel, food, culture, language and outdoor enthusiast!

    I was born in Osaka, Japan, but relocated to Eugene, Oregon, USA when I was 4 years old.

    In 2020, I obtained my Bachelors of Science degree in Human Physiology at the University of Oregon. I have extreme passion for science, holistic health, research, environmental conservation, and sustainable living.

    For many years I volunteered for the American Red Cross on a first aid response team assessing patients in medical emergencies and was trained in CPR & AED, further propelling me into the field of healthcare. I knew from a young age that I wanted a life that encompassed both travel and medicine, so my dream was to become a physician of the Doctors without Borders program.

    My dreams of obtaining an M.D. halted in 2020 when during the Covid 19 pandemic, I had a sudden epiphany to move to Japan.

    To "discover my roots" in Japan in my twenties.

    I had little foresight into how this decision would affect my professional career in the future, but I knew I just HAD to take the chance!

    I lived there for the next three years, reconnecting with old family and friends and picking up various jobs along the way. I started working for accommodation in hostels and teaching English often in the day time to make a bit of money, which then led to late nights in downtown Osaka for work-life balance, through which I made friends, made friends with bar-owners, started bartending… the bar had a small kitchen, I got into cooking, enjoyed cooking, which led to waitressing at a pizza restaurant...so on and so forth.
    What'd I learn? Take the chance! I wouldn’t have

    Fear is a signal to DO something.

    Living in Japan has become one of my most formative life experiences and made me a more independent, patient, resilient, confident, and open-minded person.

    During 2022, I backpacked through 13 countries: Italy, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Ethiopia, Greece, Turkiye, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
    Each place I documented things I had learned, new skills I had acquired, friends that I had made, and stories I was told -- one thing was clear: each person was crafting their own quilt blanket of life.
    Each quilt, so unique in pattern and color like the anecdotes I was hearing from people young and old, in countries with values, beliefs, customs and traditions different from my own. From that point on, I made it my own quest in life to learn as much as I could from other people and this planet, through mindful traveling.

    So now..

    I am currently on an endeavor - taking multiple gap years - to learn, discover, aid, engage in different projects, and widen my horizon to become a better future healthcare provider and, in general, a well-rounded individual of this world we share.

    I am most interested in humanitarian organizations like NGOs and grassroots programs, cooking/cafe/restaurants, teaching/education, and outdoor/nature activities.

    I enjoy being creative! I've done Japanese calligraphy and various art projects in the past. From making coffee cups and bowls in ceramics class in high school to making origami shadow boxes for an Art Gala.

I have also been teaching in Japan for the past year and a half as a freelancer and through an international English school for preschool and elementary school children.

    As a hotel receptionist in Kyoto, Japan, I was responsible for checking in guests, making reservations, supplying guests with amenities, cleaning and answering questions.
