Hi Everyone!
My name is Amy Odaira and I’m a third year Biology student from University of Hawai’i at Hilo. I’m half way through my year long study abroad journey and after ending my first semester in Uppsala University, my next ed-venture will start in Kyoto, Japan! I’m very excited to be here, mainly because I can finally get the chance to live the culture that’s part of my identity. Please follow me as this exciting journey unfolds!
Mahalo!
