My Background
Ashley Wallace is from Country Club Hills, IL (A south suburb of Chicago) and an alum of Nebraska's College of Business. He is extremely passionate about languages and helping Huskers become more globally competent. His wife, Yuriko, is a native of Japan, and together they have a 3-year-old son, Riki. Ashley is a fluent Japanese speaker and is currently studying Korean. His Spanish skills are a little rusty, but he hopes to brush up on that again.
My Study/Work Abroad
I studied and received my BSBA in International Business from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2011. I also received a Japanese minor as well. I am now currently studying Korean.
From 2011 I have spent all my time living and working in Japan. A majority of my time has been spent in the education sector. I have had the opportunity to teach children and adults English. Along with this, I worked as an Human Resources Representative for an English Teacher dispatch company. I worked in the construction, cost consulting and security installation areas as well. Last, I have am the founder of podcast that I have been doing for about two years now.
My Ideal Next Travel Destination
I would say Africa or Europe would to be ideal next travel destinations.
