Hi, beautiful people! My name is Hayley Hirshland and I'm a 26 year old polyglot (English, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish), hip-hop fanatic, and professional natural bodybuilder who currently lives on the Izu Peninsula (Shizuoka Prefecture), working as a Coordinator of International Relations for the small beach/geo-park town of Nishiizu. Prior to that, I worked in golf television in corporate Tokyo, and went to high school for a few years in Saga, Kyushu.
Shizuoka may be known for Mt. Fuji and green tea, but I promise that there is more to this varied prefecture than meets the eye! Please come visit to experience the true inaka (countryside) of Japan if you're not feeling the "Golden Route" (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka). It's a completely different experience! We have some of the freshest sashimi in the nation and are the largest producer of wasabi in the world. We also have amazing geo-parks (Dogashima, in particular), if you're into hiking and natural scenery! I hope to see you here in the sticks!
My hobbies/talents include, but are not limited to:
• Knowing every lyric to all Drake and Childish Gambino songs
• Picking up heavy items and putting them back town
• Bharatnatyam dance (Classical Indian dance)
• Eating ice cream in large quantities
