Japanese scientist/professor on ocean sustainability and a woman with open and pure heart🌈

Away from this community for years but re-connected in 2024, since I'm planning to travel around the world now. I got a pretty flexible university job (mostly online) with a favorite research which I feel as the reason why I was born in the world, and now I'd like to explore the world deeper / wider :) Potentially willing to find bases in multiple locations.

I'm passionate about mixing the elements of science, art, spirituality for coastal/marine sustainability. At university/academic community I have been engaged in such collaborative projects. I'd love to exchange ideas if you feel you're interested in such kind of initiatives :)

I'm usually described as polite, social, clean, intelligent, etc. I'd be happy to cook Japanese food if seasonings are prepared at a kitchen, wherever in the world 😆

Always love meeting wonderful people from different cultures, over good food/drink, blessing amazing natural environment over the earth. Let's enjoy the world together🌏
