I have been living in Japan for around 5 years now.
I've never been a great traveler but this year I want to start my backpacker career(?) in Spain :)

I like the concept of awareness and I like walks in the city, to the park, in the country, reading a book in the garden or listening to music for hours in the park. Solitude is relaxing and I like it, but I also like to go for drinks with friends and have a fun time.
I don't like the concept of economic growth. I don't get why people keep saying that it's necessary.

I admire the Dalai Lama and Mahatma Gandhi, who even loved his enemies, which I think is awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm sewing traditional Japanese Kimono.

Teach, Learn, Share

A quote:

"I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all I have been seen done, of everything done-to-me.
I am everyone, everything whose being-in-the-world was effected by mine. I am everything that happens after I've gone, which would not happen, if I had not come.

I repeat for the last time: to understand me, you'll have to swallow a world."

(Salman Rushdie)
