About Me

Hello!

My fiancee and I are currently traveling around the world and our next stop is Japan!

We are both working in Singapore. She is from Singapore and I am from Hawaii. My fiancee is a graphic designer, and I am an architect. We both speak English, but she can speak Mandarin while I can speak (some) Japanese. I am 4th generation Japanese American, and my great grandparents are originally from Hiroshima and Okinawa. I also spent 2 years teaching English in a small town in Fukuoka prefecture!

We would love to chat with you and also share our experiences of our travels and background with you, too!

I am always interested in many things, but for now, my main interest is I am learning the harmonica (I used to play the saxophone, and just a bit of guitar and ukulele)

Things I have been interested in for awhile:
- I will always love sports (currently mostly into flag football, but also basketball and volleyball), and I also like working out (although I don't look like it)
- I enjoy reading books - some are fiction for enjoyment, some are non-fiction for self-improvement or learning, and I also enjoy reading Japaneese books to improve my Japanese
- I also enjoy sketching but I'm usually lazy

We hope to be able to meet you!

おっす!

今, 私の婚約者と一緒に世界を回っています! そして, 私達の次の行く所が日本です!

私達はシンガポールで働いています. 彼女はシンガポール人で, 私はハワイ出身ですです. 彼女は仕事として, グラッフィックデザイナーをやっていて, 私は建築士です. 私達は英語が話せますがが,彼女は中国語も話せて,私はちょっと日本語ができます. 私は日系アメリカ人四世で, 私のひいおじいさんたちは元々広島と沖縄出身でした. あと, 私は2年間, 福岡県でALT (英語の先生みたい)として,働いていました!

あなたと一緒に会えて喋りを出来れば, とても嬉しいです! そして, 私達の旅行の経験と文化もあなたとシェアしたりできれば,嬉しいです!

私は常に色々な趣味を持っていますがが, 今興味を持っているのはハーモニカを吹くことですです. 前はサックスをやっていて, ギターとウクレレもちょっとだけできます.

他の趣味は:
+ スポーツ (最近はフラッグフットボールをはまっていますが,バスケとバレーボールも好きです)
+ 本を読む事(フィクションで楽しく読む事,ノンフィクションで事故研鑽, そして日本語の勉強のためにも日本の本)
+ 絵を描く事 (が, なまけもので, そんなにしないそんなにしない)

あなたとお会いできる時を待っております!
