Hello! I'm a Japanese girl who is dreaming of to travel around the world, learn lots of things, meet lots of people and live in lots of cultures. I'd love to see places and hear people's stories.

For me, traveling is the best way to understand myself better. I want to see how people think and act differently than me. Also, I feel I can be myself when I am traveling. It is one of the source of my pure happiness what puts a smile on my face :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My family had accepted a university student called Tanchi from Mari. She had lived in my home for three years. I learned French, African food and culture from her.

When I visited Hawaii, I joined the Honolulu Festival Parade as one of the member of Hawaii Okinawa Association. That time, okinawan immigrants showed off their Uchinanchu spirit. I was really touched how they proud of their ancestors and Okinawan culture. I had learned a lot from the deep Okinawan community in Hawaii. 

I got a ride on the back of my Chinese best friend's motorbike, then she showed me around Qufu city in China. It was really fun!

I met a Indian man on the road in Singapore, then my strange and wonderful traveling was started.

Teach, Learn, Share
