Since childhood, I have loved to be in contact with nature and enjoy an active lifestyle. I have experienced more than 30 different outdoor activities such as snowboarding, mountain climbing, paragliding, kayaking, and windsurfing. After graduating from college, I enjoyed the slow life in Oahu, Hawaii for about 3 years. Now I have moved to Okinawa and enjoy nature on my days off!
