Open travel →About me
I cook a lot — mostly Japanese and Korean food, slowly and from scratch — travel when I can, and build small tools for the things I'm learning.
Things I've made
- TypeKana — practise typing Japanese kana: a fast trainer with optional vocabulary and spaced repetition.
- This recipe collection — every step drawn, with prep order and timelines.
