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. MOVIE I love movies. Movie is a part of my life and changed my life when I was struggling about life. I’ve watched over 1000 movies so we can talk about movies all day long lol
