Meet the World Campus – Japan Team in Denver!

On February 4th, from 6:30pm – 8:30pm, you can meet some of the WCI team members to get information about ways to come to Japan in 2009. We will have both road staff and company management present at the Dynamy Fair, located at the Sherman Event Center, 1770 Sherman St. Denver, Colorado. Co-founder and General Manager Bob Sloat said that “We are looking forward to meeting people who want to learn about the opportunities to come to Japan for anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months experiencing unique access to the Japanese culture and people with peers from around the world. We have a couple of remaining positions for this spring but mostly want to talk about the Tokyo and western Japan options for this summer. It’s our first time going to this particular fair and we are excited to be there!”.

If you need assistance with directions or want to reserve an appointment with Bob, Berthalina or Jake, feel free to call ahead at toll free 866 595-6323. See you in Denver!

Meet Guang Yeung from USA/China!

GuangHey everyone!
My name is Guang. I was born in China but now live in the great state of Colorado. I love to travel, interacting with different cultures, eating exotic foods, and long walks on the beach… Fortunately, World Campus — Japan provides all that and much more!

One year ago, I did not know what to expect from Japan or this program. I didn’t know any Japanese and thought the culture was merely an imitation of China’s. I didn’t expect such a rewarding experience. I was amazed by the kindness of the people and the beautiful mixture of the traditional and the modern. Of course, the Japanese food was really delicious and healthful! During each of the tours in the spring and summer, I ate like a pig but lost over five kilograms^^

I might sound a little strange but I’m very friendly and I can’t wait to meet you all! Let’s make this another Super Happy Sunshine Tour!!

Meet Henning Rodtwitt from Norway!

HenningHello!
My name is Henning, and I’m from Norway. I grew up in a small city right outside of Oslo. I’ve been acting since I was about 10, played in multiple bands and used to take part in as many productions as I could when I was still in Norway. My other main interest was Japan. Not only the great selection of animation and tv-games, but also their rich history, great food and -amazing- culture.

It was a dream come true when I finally got to go to Japan, with World Campus International spring 2008.

I was even lucky enough to get to be part of the staff, and to come back for the summer tour. Combining my two hobbies, whilst traveling around with people from all over the world and learning about their cultures at the same time is nothing short of amazing.

Between the last tour and now I’ve been living in China (Shenyang), working as an English teacher. (earning my very own TEFL certificate, so I can teach English all over the world.)

I just got my holidays, and I will after a few weeks of relaxing and traveling go back to Japan.-to prepare stuff for when you guys arrive!

I’m very excited to meet all of you, and get to working on our new Arigatou Evento.

It shall be awesome!

Meet Nicolina Karaolia from Cyprus!

NicolinaHey everyone!
My name is Nicolina and I come from the divided island of Cyprus. Being born and raised in a country that has been suffering an intractable conflict I was quickly interested in learning about world issues, international politics and conflict resolution. I love traveling and being involved with peace building and service projects in Cyprus and abroad. After completing my first degree in education, I took a year off to travel and see the world. One of the countries I visited that year was Japan and I was sincerely amazed by the uniqueness of Japanese culture, the kindness of the people and the natural beauty of the country. After my one year of wonders, I went back to school to pursue a master’s degree in Human Rights and Democratization in Italy and Denmark. To complement the theoretical knowledge gained from my studies with something more practical, I decided to undertake an internship and my quest would lead me straight to the UN headquarters in New York, where I am right now, interning with the Cyprus mission at the UN.

I cant wait to join World Campus International in Japan and meet all of you! Being a loyal fun of the Japanese culture, I can assure you that this will be an experience you will never forget!
