Hi everyone! I liked the introduction format from last year’s trip on this forum, so I’m gonna use it (with a few changes).
Name: Kyle
From: From Vail, Colorado. Born and raised in Durango, Colorado.
What brings you to the tour?: Since I’ve become an anime fan, it’s been a dream of mine to visit Japan, but trying to figure out how to do it on my own has been frustrating. I actually got a flyer for PacSet Tours with an anime DVD I ordered from RightStuf, and it was a perfect fit for what I wanted to do. I also just love to travel and experience new places, but have only been overseas once in my life until now. It’s been 11 years since I crossed the Atlantic, it’s time for me to cross the Pacific!
Looking forward to: Can I say “everything”? No? Ok,then: Akihabara anime shopping, Tokyo Tower, the dinner cruise, cherry blossoms, beautiful temples and castles in Kyoto, getting to know my fellow travelers and anime aficionados.
What’s on your desk?: My phone, a near-empty coffee cup, some maps of Tokyo/Japan (I’m a geography nerd as well as an anime nerd), my Emi Yusa figure.
Favorite Animes of all time: Fate/Stay Night, Evangelion, School Rumble, Shakugan no Shana, Sword Art Online (which is weird since I’m not really a gamer but whatever), Akame Ga Kill (NO, CHELSEA!! WHY?? *sob* T-T), Hataraku Maou-sama.
Favorite Anime from Fall 2015 and Winter 2016 Seasons: Fall – Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry. Winter – Musaigen no Phantom World.
Anything else?: I have a daily countdown to this trip on the whiteboard in my office at work. Safe to say I’m fairly excited to go, and excited to share the experience with you all!
