About Me

The life is too short so I want to try as much as I can!
I super enjoy my life so far!! I'm a freelance UI/UX designer and Graphic designer, live in cool Tokyo! (originally from Tokyo) I love my job. Since 2023 March, I have started to take a class for official license of teaching Japanese. After taking a license, I will do world trip for my 3rd then move to Mexico, this is my plan so far. 🩵🩵🩵

Since I came back from the second world trip for 455 days during pandemic January 2022 to March 2023, I have started to accept again CSers. One of my purpose to accept CSer is that I would like to practice my Spanish with native Spanish speakers.
Also looking for Spanish exchange partner who live in Tokyo or tourists. Native Spanish speaker is welcome, especially Latin countries, Colombian and Mexican people. ^_^ 🇲🇽🇨🇴

The other purpose to accept CSers or meet up people, I would like to listen to the stories about an unique experience, unique occupation and unique life style!!

I love traveling, traveling is my life. I used to live in Australia, Canada and England. I lived in Cartagena Colombia 2022 and studying Spanish there. I fell in love Cartagena!!❤️

I traveled all 47 prefectures of Japan, I travel not only the world also my beautiful country!! My top 5 prefectures are “Ishikawa” &”Aomori”&”Kagoshima”&”Yamaguchi”&”Saga”!!! 石川県+青森県+鹿児島県+山口県+佐賀県😉

I have started my second world trip since January 2022. I started from USA>the South American >Antarctica cruise💛>Puerto Rico >Caribbean cruise >Colombia > Mexico> Northern and Eastern Europe for 4 months and half> Nepal >Bhutan > Asia for 3 months >Taiwan> Tokyo
I had a great CS experience in some countries, especially Colombia, Mexico and Finland!!

The first my world trip was mainly Africa and The South America from October 2017 for one year. It was super amazing experience, especially met again with my friends, made some new friends and had CS guest experience!!

My third world trip will be around 2 years later.
I have a plan to visit Indonesia, the Central Asia, New Zealand, Polynesia, Russian (depends on the situation) , Caucasus area so on… if someone from those countries or someone have visited there already, I would like to meet up!! 🙂

Of course I’m sure to come back my second home Mexico🇲🇽 and Colombia 🇨🇴

⚠️I won’t accept someone who only using CS for instead of hotel or for saving money. That is not my idea to use CS. Also someone who doesn’t have any reviews and CS experience ⚠️

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Documentary, fantasy and love comedy movies. Especially Animal planet and nature things. I love music all kinds, especially Jazz and classic. I used to learnt Piano for 15 years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing was I landed in Antarctica on an Antarctic cruise, it was 10days trip. I have never seen such spectacular view. I already visited many countries however it was everything my first time experience. I also learnt lots of things such as animals and environment of Antarctica. This was my 7th continents that I visited so I celebrated some people in our group together in the ship that day!🐧🐋🦭🚢

I had a dream to visit to Galapagos Islands and Africa when I was kids. My dream came true 2018! So happy, so excited to see different kinds of animals closer!! I did islands hopping to visit four islands. Each of the three islands I stayed relaxing and enjoy snorkeling everyday in Galapagos! Africa, I met many great people which was the best experience!!
