CURRENT MISSION

Trying to remember some Portuguese from the days I used to live in Cabo Verde...

ABOUT ME

I was born in Tokyo, grew up in Los Angeles, and lived in Cape Verde for 2 years as a volunteer. Now I live in Mountain View (Northern California).
I'm a freelance interpreter who is fortunate enough to travel a lot for work. But above all I'm a lifetime student with endless curiosity about everything. I especially enjoy traveling and getting to know people in different countries/cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

When things go south, just smile and move on...!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
