Hi! I’m Akiha from Japan.

I currently live in Tallinn, Estonia, as a university student.
I was born and raised in Japan, and during my childhood, I had never been outside the country.
However, when I was in high school, I joined a mountain climbing club and climbed mountains across Japan. That’s when I discovered my passion for nature and exploration.

I decided to study abroad to explore more of the world.
I first studied in the US and then in Estonia.
Along the way, I learned new languages and began connecting with people from all over the world.

The more I learn about the world, the more I realize how little I truly know.
That’s why I want to keep exploring and discovering more about this amazing world.

This journey has no end—and that’s the beauty of it!

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon!
