Hayden Ward

Hayden discovered his passion for ancient civilizations during a family trip to Kyoto's historical sites at age 12, where he realized his unique position as someone who could bridge Eastern and Western historical perspectives. While studying Anthropology at UCLA, he started documenting his archaeological field school experiences and adventure excursions, eventually gaining a following for his ability to make ancient history exciting through adventure activities. Now based in Tokyo while pursuing a master's in East Asian Cultural Preservation, he uses his dual cultural identity to provide unique insights into both familiar and unfamiliar worlds.
