After living in China and then Yugoslavia, I moved to Japan and have lived in Okayama Prefecture since 2001. In October 2024, I completed the Takahashi River Basin Writers’ Course.

I have been involved in intercultural exchange programs for many years. As a graduate of the Takahashi River Basin Writers’ Course, I will continue to deepen my understanding of Chinese and Japanese cultures, share Kurashiki’s appeal from a foreign resident’s perspective, and provide information for international tourists and people considering moving to the area.
