Having decided to learn Japanese in high school, Allison Stalberg first went to Japan as a high school student. She lived in Aichi Japan for a month with a host family through the organization called Youth for Understanding. She got to experience Oshogatsu (New Year’s), Japan’s most celebrated holiday at Ise Jingu (Japan’s most famous shrine). She also attended a Japanese high school.
Allison went to Japan a second time as a college student of Guilford. She travelled abroad and lived in Osaka for a semester with a host family. She studied Japanese, Shinto, Japanese modern literature, and visual anthropology at Kansai Gaidai university. Outside of school, she took private calligraphy lessons from a teacher that lived in the same apartment building as her host family. During her semester, she travelled to Hiroshima, Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara.
Allison is a double major in English and anthropology. Her passions are traveling the world and writing both fiction and nonfiction.
