Hey CS community!

I'm Japanese and have lived abroad for the past 12 years: 6.5 years in New Zealand, 1 year in Australia, and 6 years in Norway. I’ve just moved back to Japan December 2024 and started an exciting new chapter! Looking forward to welcoming 2025 with this new adventure!

At the moment I live in Misawa city, Aomori in Japan, where we can walk to a natural hot spa(onsen♨) in 2 mins and surrounded by beautiful nature witin easy driving distance. For example, Mt Hakkoda and Towada Lake. There is a spare room at my apartment so I can welcome guests comfortably:)

Some things about me: I’m easygoing, open to many topics of conversation, and adaptable. I’m fluent in English (a “rare Pokémon” from Japan!), and I enjoy humor across cultures. I’m clean, tidy, and always focused on learning, growing, and connecting with those around me. I’m not much of a partier these days (though I do enjoy it occasionally) and try to balance excitement with relaxation.

In Norway, I often play the didgeridoo at yoga and meditation ceremonies. I love music, dance, outdoor sports, reading, cooking, nature, culture, and, of course, travel. I’m also interested in politics, human rights, and environmental issues.

An adventurer at heart, I used to live in a self-made camper van and a small sailboat in Oslo. I’ve traveled extensively in Europe, but there’s always more to see and experience here.

I’m not keen on chasing materialism or capitalism. Instead, I try to expand my consciousness and my care for others and the natural world.

Would love to connect with you along my journey! 🌸
