One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

TRAVEL
I have traveled around Japan when I was 18. That is my start of traveling.
My first experience of hitchhiking in USA is when I was 20 in 2017. I did from California to Vancouver, Canada.
And then next year, I tried to cross USA from Los Angeles to New York by hitchhiking. I used train and bus sometimes but I met lots of great people through hitchhiking.

MARTIAL ART
I have played Aikido, which is Japanese traditional martial art since I was 4 and won all Japanese tournament when I was 13.
