About Me

I`m traveling solo from Japan to the West all the way.
I`m a Japanese university student who is curious about everything in my way.
I was born in small island in japan which is called Okinawa like a tropical island. Many toursit comes to my island to enjoy our culture which is mixed with Chinese, Tiwanese, Japanese, a bit of American.
I want to explore how I can live and what I`m interested in from my heart through my plan. After this trip, I`d love to make use of this exeperiece for motivation to live actively.
My destination is Stockholm in Sweden from Istanbul in Turkey by hicthhiking via a serveral country.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music
I paly the drums as a hobby. When I listen to some music, I tend to focus on the rythm in music. I`m curious about everthing about music such as rock, jazz, metal, traditional, pop.... Ecpecaliy, I`m thinking about I`m gonna paractice to make rythm of jazz after I back home. Traditinal music instrement is always someting new for me to explore how it is invloved with culture and each contry`s music and how someone play it.

Movies
Ive seen heart-warming movies recently like a series which Tom Hanks is in. I sometimes think about myself and my life. I usually watch movies in Amazon prime video. So I think I know famous movie which is know to people in the world. I`d also love to explore new movie which is only in local. And reading manga is my little hobby. My favorite a series is JOJO`s bizarre adventure. I`m traveling like Jotaro.

Books
My favorite book is Momo by Michael Ende.
I`m reading philosophy to reference as a thoughts through my trip.
I read every field book but in Japan as a general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This trip is the amazing thing I`ve done and I`m doing. I`m planing to go around the earth at the first time to go just West. After I leave Turkey, I`ll go hicthhiking with passing by local place. This is needed a little brave. But I hope it makes me find new perspective to interarect with unique people.
Through my trip, everyday is something new for me because Ive never gone out from Japan until I was 20.
I hope this trip is one of the big event of my life
