Hello everyone:) I am a 23 year old graduate student from Japan. I was born and raised in Japan but also lived in the US during my childhood so I am bilingual in Japanese and English.

I live in Fukushima prefecture which is in the Tohoku region. My family lives in Tochigi prefecture which is closer to Tokyo. I live here by myself to attend college. I got my BS at the same university I am currently in so this is my 5th year in Fukushima!

!!!! About the Postal Service !!!! We have a lot of snow from mid December through early March and mails I send out or receiving are processed slow at this time of the season. Other than that, all my mails go out of Japan within a week and mails that comes in Japan get to my place within 3~4 days. If you are not receiving my mail or I'm not rating yours, please contact me:)

I am a newbie snail mailer and a postcrosser. I discovered snail mail and postcrossing in the end of 2017. Since then I've made a lot of great friends and met new people through postcard exchange and of course swapping here. I enjoy reading/writing long letters so feel free to write as much as you want!

Here are some of the things I like:

• Reading Books (YA, Epic Fantasy, Horror, Historical)
• Music (Classic, Instrumental, Electronic, OST, ...)
• Watching movies (Marvel, DC, Star Wars, ...)
• Traveling
• Drawing (Mostly anime style and sometimes semi-realistic. Check out my instagram for my arts!)
• Cooking sweets (cookies, cakes, tarts, etc)
• Collecting stationeries (Washie tapes, pens, cute memo pads, etc.)
• Drinking Tea/Coffee

Receiving reccomendation for books and other things listed above is welcome:)
