I have lived in China, Japan, and the U.S. and like to spend my time exploring new and hidden places. I was able to take some really fabulous free walks in Europe, South America, and Asia, so I want to show visitors the best time when they come to my city, too! Feel free to ask me any questions or tell me about your interests when you come!
