CURRENT MISSION

Travel and find a new home!

ABOUT ME

I'm born and raised in Japan and lived there for 18 years, then came to Chicago, IL for art school.
I'm fluent in English and Japanese and am half Chinese-half American (German-Swedish).
I identify as a global citizen of the world and am currently looking for a new home, and always looking for new friends.
I currently teach yoga and make art, and will be doing creative therapy work in Nepal with former sex workers this summer. Doing some traveling along the West Coast beforehand.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm interested in compassion, tolerance, being a good person, loving others and finding good people in the world. Learning and growing through each other and our shared experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed in Berlin, Germany and Barcelona, Spain.

Interests

My passions are art (painting and drawing, book-making, graphic novels), yoga, movement in general (swimming, running, climbing mountains, biking everywhere), and music/sound.

I'm into healing - through the body (yoga), the mind (therapy), psychedelics/plant-based therapy, spirituality, good food and liquids, and living life well.
