Join Yvonne Wolf in an overview of Japan's national flower and welcome spring the Japanese way, through the cherry blossom festivals!

Japan has been a fascinating American tourist attraction for decades. Cherry Blossom season lasts from early March to early May.  

Yvonne Wolf is an intercultural consultant and founder of Chinese Intercultural, LLC. She speaks on a variety of topics that clarify elements of Chinese and East Asian cultures in an accessible and relatable context. Yvonne shares the knowledge and skills she has acquired having lived in four countries where she became fluent in three languages: Chinese-Mandarin, English, and Danish. She has worked with organizations and business executives focusing on communication strategies working with Chinese and East Asian partners. Among her many skills is mediating across cultural misunderstandings. She was born in Taiwan. 

Armchair Travels is generously funded with a gift from the Rutherford Family Trust.
