Hi! My name is Cate and I love to surf, travel, hike, and meet new people. I speak Japanese at a business level after living in Nagoya, Nagano, and Miyazaki. Currently I reside in San Clemente, CA, where I work as a web developer and surf every day. Check out my Instagram and blogs of my travels below.
