Hello! My name is Sunshine.
"An inhabitant on mother earth" - I see life as an eternal journey, and living one's true self as a work of art. I'm exploring ways to sustainably give back to the environment, local communities, and myself.
I try to approach life with curiosity, creativity, and care. I value connections with nature and people. I'm seeking opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute through cultural exchange.
I am a student during gap year, majoring in architecture from the University of Tokyo.
Helping others and connecting with the essence of life is the meaning of my existence. Everyone who knows me says that I'm warm, like my name, Sunshine. My smile and personality can melt anyone's heart. I can quickly become friends with anyone!
Right now, my focus is on exploring the infinite possibilities of life! I have a deep love for nature and the earth, as well as all sentient beings. I'm all about connecting with people on a deep level, exploring diverse cultures, and living a life that's in tune with nature and sustainability.
I'm now practice and share permaculture design & natural building techniques in communities around the world. I hope to gain hands-on experience with eco-friendly designs and lifestyles, while exchanging cultures and perspectives. Playing a small part in the stewardship of our shared home motivates me. I aim to approach any task with care, creativity, and conscientiousness.Interests
