Made in Japan, ended up in Canada.
I like to think I kept the best of both.
I've always had a bit of refined taste...and a bit of a nerdy side.
For the longest time, I felt like I could only show the parts of myself that fit the image people expected of me.
But the funny thing is, whenever people discover my little "secrets", they loved them. What I thought I had to keep quiet turned out to be the very thing that made people feel closest to me.
It changed the way I see connections.
I started valuing what's actually real—honesty, openness, and those unfiltered moments that build something genuine.
I focus on connection that feels intentional. I keep my circle small, and I value time spent with people where it truly means something—celebrating something simple, laughing a little too much, or even getting emotional over a movie together.
“I don’t believe in God, I believe in cashmere.” — Fran Lebowitz
I’m a sucker for anything soft, relaxed, and cozy.
Most days, you’ll find me curled up in cashmere sweater with a cup of Earl Grey (or sometimes a glass of Saint-Julien),
getting lost in a Sci-Fi story or wandering into the world of unsolved mysteries cases.
But don’t let that side fool you—it’s only one part of me.
Other days, I’m in classic Canadian sweatpants, fully locked into a shooter game, getting a little too competitive and emotionally invested.
And with my recently new found love with the outdoors— you might catch me hiking or out on the slopes in the winter.
I like a bit of both—comfort and excitement, quiet and intensity.
Maybe we plan something spontaneous.
Maybe we unwind and take our time.
Maybe it’s just a night in, where conversation flows easily and nothing feels forced.
Whatever it is, I want it to feel real.
I’m not here for something surface-level. I’m here for moments that feel genuine—even if they’re fleeting.
If that resonates with you…
we might get along very well.
Are you ready for the adventure?
