The “where are you from?” question is so difficult to answer😅 So here it goes: I’m Japanese and US citizenship-wise, grew up moving back and forth and lived in each country for exactly half of my life. Graduated college in the Chicago and currently work as a sustainability consultant in Tokyo! Before working, I took a 15 month gap year, where I got to travel ALOT!
Even though I work now and getting holidays is harder, I still love to travel around, meet new people, and discover new cultures. I usually travel solo and try to make friends where I go! Can’t wait for more new encounters :))

Quad-vaxxed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The quote I live by is 一期一会 (Ichigo Ichie). It’s a Japanese proverb that directly translates to “one opportunity, one encounter” and means something along the lines of “for this time only, never again, and once in a lifetime.”
