Cycling in Tokyo

Finals week has begun here at ICU and it has so far been surprisingly difficult.  However it is nothing I haven't encountered before at UCSB, and will simply equate to a week of isolation until a month long spring break.  

So until then take a look at my favorite way to de-stress and spend my free time here in Japan. cycling.

Snow in Tokyo

Before I came to Japan I was told that if I were very lucky "it just might snow in Tokyo."  Fast forward 5 months and it has already snowed 3 times!  This most recent snow storm gave me the opportunity to enjoy snow photography on the campus of my university, ICU.

On another note, my volunteer trip to Tohoku was amazing!  I am in the process of creating a video for the trip and will post it on this blog when it is done.  In the meantime, please enjoy these photos.

Recent Activities


I have just finished a fairly challenging 2 weeks of midterm examinations at ICU and have finally found some free time to update my blog!

Most recently I have met with some of the leaders of Youth for 3.11, a student-founded and student-run Tohoku volunteer youth group based in Tokyo.  I will provide photography and videography for this group in the future as I
join them on volunteer trips. We are also in talks about a video that I will produce to showcase their activities and even an update to their English webpage.

This group is actively seeking to reach out to international students living in Japan like myself, I highly support their cause and look forward to working with them!

Tomorrow I will be traveling with a Youth for 3.11 event similar to the one I had gone about two months ago (a post of this trip can be found on this blog).  The weather will be much colder this time and there will even be the possibility of snow!  Please look forward to my upcoming post on this trip!

(A video may even be created!)
