ABOUT ME

I love different cultures, cuisines, and the adventure of living in a new place! I've been living in Japan since August 2011. Me encanta hablo espanol! I also love cooking Japanese food, learning kanji, observing the colorful Japanese fashions, and going to church.

In the states, I've lived in Oklahoma, Virginia, and Ohio. In college, studied abroad a semester in Mexico and Guatemala. There are so many places I want to visit or live in after my time in Japan- Alaska, the southern United States, Chile, Uruguay, Honduras, Greece, Russia, Korea, China, Mexico, Romania, Spain, Portugal, France...

PHILOSOPHY

Que tiene el mas valor en mi vida es mi relacion con Dios. Me encanta culturas diferentes y la aventura de aprender un nuevo idioma.

I value most in my life my personal relationship with God. I love different cultures and the adventure of language learning.
