Devon Bartlett grew up in beautiful Denver, Colorado, spending her whole childhood in the same neighborhood, on the same street, and in the same house and for this, she is thankful. However, her curiosity about other places and other people has inspired her to live in a number of cities (including Portland, Oregon; Boston; Washington, D.C.; Chicago; and Osaka, Japan), studying everything from music therapy, piano, and jazz promotion to Japanese. She loves and misses the natural beauty of her hometown but can't shake the excitement and sense of adventure she feels in big cities. She now calls Tokyo home and spends her days as a preschool teacher.
