I'm half Japanese/American. People always seem to chuckle when I tell them that my mom is from Tokyo and my dad is from Kansas City, Missouri. I've lived in Tokyo for ten years but have spent most of my life in the United States. I live a very active lifestyle and always find myself on the go. I'm low maintenance and it doesn't make much to keep me happy. Just good food and good people :).

I love meeting new people and learning about other countries, cultures, and ways of living.

Food/Drinks I like: Salads (yes I like to eat healthy), Sushi, Ramen, Soju, Asahi Beer, Curry, and Nutella. I'm willing to give almost anything a try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Every friend you've ever had was once a stranger"

This is a personal philosophy that I hold near and dear to my heart. As much as I am looking to travel, I'm also looking to meet new people and build a community with my fellow Couch surfers. I'm looking forward to meeting you! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran the Portland Marathon in October, 2016. It was my first marathon. Running a full marathon has been a bucket list item of mine for a long time, so I was glad to be able to achieve this milestone.
