I'm half-Japanese half-American and grew up mostly in Japan, though in a bilingual/bicultural environment. I'm an undergrad at the University of Tokyo, currently working on my bachelor's thesis on fungal biology. Yes, all the fun stuff :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I aspire to start a graduate program in the US after I'm done at UTokyo, and am traveling in the US in March to visit universities and meet people in order to explore what I wanna do for my graduate program and where.

Interests

I love:
- meeting people and hearing their stories, and telling mine!
- traveling
- hiking and other outdoorsy stuff
- listening and dancing to music
- dogs and cats ...and basically any other kind of animal!
