I am Tanya Mindo. I am 23 years old from the Philippines. I am now living in Edmonton, Canada and I used to be an exchange student at the University of Tokyo for Spring-Summer semester. I was a Political Science major and I love coffee, tea, sweets, and pasta.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do not have a favorite genre, so I listen to a variety of music. When it comes to movies, I like romance, comedy, drama, and horror films. I read a lot of books. Most of them are written by the likes of Paulo Coelho. I also like reading books with strong political message such as George Orwell’s 1984.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I delayed my graduation to go to an exchange at University of Tokyo. I am supposed to graduate last June 2017, but I decided to do something different with my life.
