About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life more

ABOUT ME

I was born in Japan, grew up in Los Angeles and have spent most of my adult life moving around internationally. I went to university in Los Angeles but I also spent 2 years living in Korea. I've spent the past 6 years living in Tokyo and now I find myself in Los Angeles again, just waiting for the next opportunity to leave.

PHILOSOPHY

To love.

I think it's the only thing that gives meaning to life.

"Love until it hurts"

Interests

I'm very interested in languages, travel and spirituality. I can speak Japanese, Korean and English (obviously). I've also tried studying Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), French and Thai. Lately I've been obsessed with Spanish and Mexican culture so I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I sitdown and start studying it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not really into music, movies or books... I rarely watch movies and don't keep up with the music scene. If I do read, it's probably going to be something spiritual.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I travel, I'm constantly reminded that different people have different mindsets and that we shouldn't judge others when we don't even understand them.
