Hello! I’m Xavier, a kiwi working as a CIR (Coordinator for International Relations) for Nabari city hall. Before this I worked as a teacher in Tottori prefecture for four years and fell in love with Japan. I love sharing my New Zealand heritage, meeting new people and exploring the lesser known areas and cultures of Japan. I’m keen to give anything a go at least once after all 一期一会 ( Once in a lifetime opportunity) or in other words treasure each moment for you never know if it may reoccur.
