                      John McBride

                      Resume

                      John McBride has degrees in classical Japanese literature from the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, international relations from the Australian National University and business from the University of Melbourne. John has walked the full length of Basho’s journey, taking 28 years to complete the task.


                      He has also walked the length of the ancient Tokaido Highway from Tokyo to Kyoto and returned using the old Nakasendo Highway through the mountains. John has linked both these journeys to study classical literature. He has also walked the full 1500km of the Buddhist pilgrimage, the 88 temples of Shikoko, Japan again studying the major sutras of classic Buddhist texts.
