My favorite place is Nepal. I've done five different treks there, Everer and Annapurna Region and have summitted Island Peak, 20,000', the most incredible views. Rafting down the Colorado River in Grand Canyon was fantastic. I've sea kayaked along the fjords of Greenland, just spectacular.

I was born during WW II in Tokyo when the bombs were falling. I lived through post war Japan and then lived in NY when discrimination of Asian was still prevalent. I have traveled extensively the last ten years all over the world. I would like to share all these experience. I would like to hear about other people's lives and how they have copted.

All kinds of outdoor activities: backpacking, backcountry skiing, and most of all trekking all over the world. I play a lot of tennis when home.
