My name's Rich, originally from the UK and in Japan from 2002-2021. Duesseldorf is now home.

I am a writer, editor and translator.

Love: tea, travel, meeting people, language/culture, luxury hotels and spas, mountain-biking and Italian/Thai food. I enjoy events and human relations are my top priority.

I would like to speak French, German and Japanese with new people.

Some of my favourite sayings:

相手の知っている言葉で話しかければ、それは相手の頭に届く。
相手の持っている言葉で話しかければ、それは相手の心に届く。

If you talk to someone in a language they understand, it goes to their head. If you talk to them in their language, it goes to their heart.

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
