Peter Bailey

Originally from Edinburgh, Scotland Peter now in Kushiro, Hokkaido

Having worked in a number of different jobs over his life (from banking to working in the criminal justice system) Peter has had quite a range of life experiences.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Peter realized that one thing he always regretted was never living abroad, and never visiting Japan, a country which has always held his interest.

He applied for the JET programme, which would help facilitate a move to the country and assist in the transition.

In 2023, he was successful and was placed in the city of Kushiro on the island of Hokkaido.

Peter then immediately set out to explore my new home, and began to seek out and learn about the island, its history, and its people.
