About Me:
I was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador, and am a dual-citizen of both Ecuador and the US. I love to travel and just got back from 3 weeks in Japan visiting my boyfriend, who I met while he was studying abroad here. I am an international studies major (Asian concentration), as well as a Japanese minor. I enjoy both traditional and modern Asian cultures, especially Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. I deal with a few disorders that have interrupted my life, most recently a severe sleep disorder (more than likely narcolepsy) that is in the process of being diagnosed. These are big parts of my life, so if we write to each other, they'll come up!
Main Interests: other cultures, languages, and histories, fashion (I'm into Japanese fashion), music, cute things, pugs
Favorite Cute Stationary Brand/Character: Rilakkuma is my favorite. I have LOTS of cute stationary that I'm itching to use, but I don't mind if you just write on notebook paper!
Favorite Sport: I'm the one member of my family who dislikes playing sports, but I do like watching soccer (I'd probably be disowned if I didn't).
Favorite Animals: Frogs and pugs!
Candy: Ferrero Rocher chocolates haha. And gummy bears!
Favorite Color: Pink, I also love baby blue and red
Favorite Scents: Vanilla!
Favorite thing to do on a boring day: read an interesting book
Favorite Things: my clothes haha
Favorite Music/Artists: I mostly listen to Japanese and Korean music, but mostly because I'm out of date with American/Western stuff - I'm down for new things!
I really like: An Cafe, Girugamesh, MUCC, Big Bang, 2NE1, Utada Hikaru
Your Idol/Inspiration: The vocalist for the band An Cafe, Miku.
