CURRENT MISSION

Never stop actively learning

ABOUT ME

As of May, 2024 I'm living in Union City, NJ and attending nurse anesthesia school.

I'm an easy going person. Some of the things I enjoy most are music, good food, lively conversation, and the outdoors. I try to lead a peaceful life and to appreciate both the extraordinary and commonplace parts of it. I want to see as much of the world as I can and to experience it with kind and honest people.

When I travel, I try my best to fit in wherever I go (even though I still usually end up sticking out). I like to try to eat, drink, live, and think like a local. Doing that is infinitely more rewarding to me than simply being somewhere and seeing something.

Compared to most Americans I think it's safe to say I'm slightly introverted, but as I've traveled I've found I'm considered less so in other cultures!

日本語も話せるよ！大学で二年間勉強した。あとは日本に住んでたときよく使った。僕と日本語で話せる人と会えたら嬉しいな
