About me
My name is Grant Barker and I'm a down-to-earth and easy-going 43 year old.
I'm British and I've lived and worked in England, France, America and now Japan. I've been here in Japan for over 5 years and I teach Eikaiwa (英会話 / English conversation).
In America, in 1998, I got my Commercial Helicopter Pilot licence. This was a childhood dream. As it happens, I haven't flown now for some years.
When you move abroad or change your lifestyle, those different chapters of your life can make things new and fresh. The downside, if there is one, is that you continue to feel very young inside each new chapter, even though on the outside you are clearly not so. I have to remind myself that I don't look as young as I feel.
It's all good though. I think it's something we can only appreciate when we have left our young exterior behind.
