I was born and raised in Hokkaido, Japan. Growing up, my childhood dream was to be able to speak many languages and to make friends all over the world, so I came to California to pursue a college education right after my high school graduation.

My favorite thing to do is to explore beautiful nature! Hiking and going to the beaches with friends simply make me very happy. My love and respect for nature have deepened this past few years and I’m currently learning how to live more sustainably and reduce my carbon footprint everyday. I want to spread and raise awareness of the importance of making choices that benefit the mama earth.

Besides that, I also love cooking, traveling and collecting plants! :)
