About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience and survive all the seasons in Japan! (CA really only has summer and... kinda chilly)

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and documenting my experiences through photography. Trying out new experiences and food (always down to eat!) are activities I definitely enjoy during my travels.

Not too long ago I studied abroad in Japan and loved the experience so much I'm returning one year later as a teacher through the JET Programme. Although I'll be placed in a different city and my Japanese is still rusty, I'll still look forward to meeting new people once I'm there!

PHILOSOPHY

Eat, experience, and travel!
