Finishing my first year in Amherst, MA as a graduate student in Japanese literature and language. I love everything outdoors, hiking in all four seasons, biking, kayaking, and SUP boarding. Started climbing a year ago and go the gym next door weekly. I also dabble in dancing.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One of my favorite memories traveling is spending a day with a friend in Naha (Japan) looking for a Ryukyu glass with bubbles in the glass that form a wave. At the end my friend found two glasses that were made for each other, one with glass colored like a sunset and another one that resembled a starry night.
