Hi! My name is Megumi Hibino and I’m from Kobe in Japan.

I’m doing my postgraduate studies in Environmental Management in Perth, Western Australia.

My home prefecture has a sister-state relationship with Western Australia, so I was intrigued about Perth.

I did some research and I realised that Perth is a beautiful city and also has a lot of practical examples of environmental management which I’m studying.

I really enjoy the lifestyle here. People are so much more relaxed than in my country. 

The weather is beautiful in Perth and I’ve been here for nine months now but I’m still amazed at the perfect blue sky!
