ABOUT ME
I grew up in Japan and went to a college in Oregon, USA. After completing Bachelor's in Sociology, I have worked as a full time in Japan and experienced various work field: sales for organic, natural food and supplements products, customer service desk for security system, nature guide in a rural mountainous are, a researcher for bio-gas renewable energy...

My recent occupations were always related to nature and sustainability. I have been one of the staff members in a restoration place in Miyagi prefecture, where they had enormous damages from the Great East Earthquake in Mar. 2011. In that restoration place, those family from Fukushima prefecture can spend "get away" time without worrying about air and soil contamination. This experience got me interested in working for renewable energy. I was working for bio-gas project in a renewable/sustainable company in rural area in Miyagi. I do have a lot of story I can share. Please let me know if you are interested.

I enjoy traditional Japanese flower arrangement and archery as well. Nature, good healthy food, creative art, open space, friendly people are great gift to enjoy :D I like to be a happy person rather than a good person.

Now, I am off to traveling around the world. Starting from Sri Lanka, I plan on visiting Turkey and probably in Eastern Europe

Why I joined CS?

My friend recommended me to join CS to meet cool people !
I have traveled USA, Korea, Spain, Turkey and Japan. I enjoy meeting people who have various backgrounds. Sharing your experience and perspective towards the world would always inspire me in some way. CS would be a great opportunity to share about myself and to get to meet fascinating people out there.

PHILOSOPHY
