Hi. My name's Nathniel Bower, but most people just call me Nate. I'm 26 years old and grew up in Northern California. In my free time, I like to play games and go hiking. I really love exploring new areas and learning new things about places I have already been. I go to college at California State University Chico where I study Japanese and Asian culture. At the beginning of this year, I was lucky enough to be able to join an exchange program between my university and Kansai Gaidai University in Japan. So far I've made lots of new friends, got to learn what it's really like to live in Japan, and I've collected so many stories I can't wait to share with everyone. I look forward to working with you all!
