Description

Hi there!
I'm Kinu from Japan, Tokyo. I'm 22, in my senior year of uni, and learning cultural anthropology. Currently, I am taking a leave of absence and traveling the world!
I am a friendly, open-minded, and laid-back person.

I love sharing culture and learning other people's different ways of seeing the world.
I love being in nature, sharing stories, eating and cooking foods, being creative and making something on my own, immersing myself in local communities, and trying something new every day!

I've been traveling around countries where none of my friends had ever been before :) (Ethiopia, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lithuania, and Turkey). Now, I am working in Tasmania, Australia! I want to do many things I probably won't be able to do when I get older this year!

My goal for this break year is to go to Haida Gwaii Island, Canada, which I have been dreaming about for years! I first became aware of the island through a photo of an abandoned totem pole taken decades ago by my favorite photographers. I want to know about the Haida culture, the Elders' story, and the view of nature. I want to learn spirit and heart for coexisting with nature, which has been forgotten in Japan.
