About Me

CURRENT MISSION

keep calm and drink coffee.

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about meeting people and learning new things about their culture, feelings and dreams. I'm hungry to understand the world and it's particular details. I'm open to have a deep philosophical conversation as well as 'shut up and let's dance.
My family is japanese, I was born in Brazil, I lived in London and now I'm back to my hometown, São Paulo, in Brazil.
I'm fairly open-minded person and would love to meet friendly people willing to share ideas, travelling together, having good time in a club or just for a cup of coffee. =)
