About Me

Hello! I'm a Japanese girl, currently on a gap year(kind of...)
I was studying abroad in UK for a year and during that time, I traveled around Europe!
Also I once lived in Canada and went to a lot of places around there as well.
I'm a positive, easy-going, open-minded person who is curious about various things.

⚠️ I have a boyfriend in Japan and I'm not looking for ANY ROMANTIC things!! Looking for genuine friend ship⚠
