PHILOSOPHY

To accept people from most walks of life, not to just tolerate them, but to show them empathy and compassion. To learn to let go of material possessions, and enjoy the friendship of others.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I took a train trip across the United States. I learned so much appreciation for the nature and beauty of my own country. I met various people and saw how nice and friendly people can be here.

I can teach you to make different types of tea, a delicious cup of coffee in a french press, and teach you how to cook a healthy and delicious meal. Some important phrases in Japanese (and of course my native language, English!) I love learning languages and we can study together ^^ Oh, and I can also read your tarot cards!! (Just for fun I am a beginner... but my friends say my beginning predictions are eerily accurate..)
