Hiii!!! I'm Akemi🦙

I'm Peruvian and love cats and potatoes. I enjoy listening to music and playing music (not so good at it). I love to try new things, for example, before leaving, I was trying to learn how to crochet, but I'm not so good at it. I love to learn and educate myself about politics and try to be aware of everything as much as I can.

I have been in Japan and Peru, and this is my first time in Boston.

I'm trying to get to know more people and places.

I'm looking forward to learn a lot, not anything in particular, and just having more of other people's views.

Hi! I’m Minami.

I really enjoy listening to music and watching anime. Right now, I’m watching My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア).

I’ve lived in several countries. Singapore for three years, the U.S. (in Illinois) for two years, and Germany for one year. I’ve also traveled to France, Australia, Thailand, and Indonesia.

This is my first time in Boston, so I really want to go to some sports games and visit many historical places.

I’m a bit shy and not very confident speaking English, so my goal is to feel more comfortable communicating in English. Also, I usually don’t think much about how Americans view Japan, so I want to take this opportunity to learn more about my country from an American perspective.
