random Mitsu facts
I’ve petted a baby lion and held a sloth. I’ve shot a machine gun and a Glock. I learned I’m a horrible shot
I’ve lived in Canada and Mexico, both for a short summer. I love Japanese gyaru fashion, Russian history and politics and English television. I’d really like to learn Russian, I took a semester but wow it’s hard
I’m palm sweatingly afraid of heights, but I think insects are cool.
I love to travel and do it whenever I can, I’m not very good at sitting in the same place. I absolutely love traveling within Japan. Other than living in Tokyo I’ve been to Nara, Kamakura, Hakone, Niigata, Nagoya, Sendai, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Shizuoka, Nagano, and Kanazawa. Lately documenting gal fashion in every Japanese city I visit.

My man thinks I’d deco my cat if she could stand still. I think he’s right
