Richie Bartlett, Jr.

I've traveled most of the United States except for the northwestern parts. I have traveled through Spain, Russia, India, South Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia, New Zealand and Canada. I have been living in Japan since 2008. I love most of Japan. But like any place you stay long enough, you eventually find the things that annoy you. For as long as the balance of things I like exceeds that for which I disagree, I will continue to live in Japan. I've even taken on a Japanese name: バートレット理路。

I've never been afraid to confront any challenge. I usually make it a point to learn something new everyday. I believe that the moment you stop learning is the moment you start dying. Life starts to become boring if it's too comfortable. I don't mind stepping outside my comfort zone and learn something completely new from time to time. Keep the body and mind moving. This is a great way to expand one's mind and experience in life.
