CURRENT MISSION

To learn German. Learn Japanese better.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy travel and making new friends.

I moved to Berlin after 10 years living in Tokyo.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short and it is important to do things that make us excited and don't put them off forever. Getting bogged down in drama or regrets is also a waste of time. Build a great future.
