Japan-based Creative Entrepreneur: Writer | Content Creator | Mentor | Speaker
Before I get into the meaning of the term: “Gaijin”, what the word means in my universe, and in the context of my media feed, I need to debunk a little of the bullshit surrounding the word and its use. My own definition is: outside, alien, foreigner, doesn’t belong.
I’ve always been curious about pretty much EVERYTHING! I’m certainly not unique in that. It’s human nature to be inquisitive, to want to know the details, to ask: “why is it so?” and “how did it come to be?” and “what if it hadn’t been exactly like that?”
Angelino means “Little Angel” in Italian – and quite obviously why I have wings! I’m a mixed bag really: Italian – well half of me is. The other half is Dutch. I grew up in Australia, and these days I’m a Japan-based Creative Entrepreneur.
