Episode 14 : Kaori Nishiyama, a Globetrotter
Kaori Nishiyama is a Japanese national living in Tokyo. She is a world traveller, and relishes immersing herself in different cultures and having a discourse with local people. She attained a master's degree in Demography at Georgetown University in the United States in 1997. From that point onwards, she began touring the world. She lived in Zinder, Niger; Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Phnom Penh in Cambodia. After settling back in Tokyo in 2014, she began work as an event organizer at the PMI Japan Chapter. She is enjoying a lot coordinating events with lots of volunteers of the chapter. Some of her volunteer work has included giving directions to tourists on the Ginza and Ueno streets, being involved in the annual Tokyo marathon and most recently, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Before the coronavirus pandemic, she took off overseas every year. Currently, she sharpens her English at home, hoping to use the language when world travelling becomes possible again.
