Hello! I'm university student from Seattle, USA!

I photograph scenes around Japan and Seattle, and any place I can travel to. I'm aspiring to work in UX design or advertising.

I like wandering around new places, great conversation, and learning anything and everything about the place I'm in. I can be quiet sometimes, but I'm definitely interested in making friends and adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people from around the world and sharing stories. It's way more fun than staying in a hotel room

Interests

Photography - landscape, street, anything pretty and quintessentially Japan

UX design & technology - I also love taking note of great design of everyday products in Japan, like the wrapping system of onigiri from conbini

Fitness/weightlifting - I can deadlift a baby elephant, according to http://whatanimaldoyoulift.herokuapp.com/

The Great Gatsby - for its great prose
