My name is Yukari Peerless and I was born and raised in Japan. I am from a small town called Sasebo, Nagasaki and I came to Canada in 1998.
I am a writer, blogger, translator and social media enthusiast. I am the owner of Lucid Communication, a consulting firm in Victoria, B.C.
Our services include ESL support, wedding planning, translation, and vacation rental/real estate consulting for, but not limited to, Japanese clients.

I feel passionate about engaging with people and adding the personal touch.
Interestingly enough, my name Yukari means “connection” or “relationship” in old Japanese.

I am also a co-host of an online show focusing on engagement: “Getting Engaged – Online, In Life, and At Work”

I am very active on social media platforms and have worked with companies such as Disney, Ogilvy & Mather, Dove, Post and ANA on their social media activation as one of Canada’s most influential bloggers. I have also contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers in Japan, having been mentioned in various books as one of the key Japanese bloggers in North America.

Other recent projects include Social Media Strategist for TEDxJuanDeFuca, and Speaker Coordinator for Social Media Camp.

As one of the co-founders,  I have also organized Breathe Now, the first annual conference for women in my home town of Victoria, BC in April 2012.

Please note this is my personal blog and most of the time I talk about, me.

English is not my first language so I am sure I make many grammar mistakes here and I hope you forgive me. I am still learning.

If you ever have an interesting project or if you are interested in having me speak at your event, please contact me by email.
