Adventurous and open-minded. I love meaningful conversations and have plenty of stories to share. Although I am a bit of a workaholic, I always crave for new places to explore and like to meet new people of different cultures!

Fun facts about me:

💻 I work in IT and have side jobs as a Book Producer & Event Coordinator
🌱 Im into plants and have a tiny garden in my room
💬 There are always some creative projects I'm involved in — art-markets, exhibitions, merch, books, cosplay and music events.
🎸 I play guitar
🔘 I play Go and Shogi
🐾 I have one silly goofy cat at home! Her name is Fisha🐟
