Hi everybody! I'm Monica. I am originally from Tokyo, Japan. I've been living in New York since 1986. Before I started to live here in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, I've lived in Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, and different part of Brooklyn. People from all over the world has stayed in this place and I enjoy learning different cultures. I am a little health fanatic who is into organic foods, healthy cooking, organic cleaning and natural way of living. I think my best traits are my kind heart and open mind. My hobbies are listening to podcasts, reading, play with my loving Pomeranian dog, etc. I like to wake up early and look at morning sunlight while walking my dog. I train my dog everyday not bark too loud with full of excitement but it is often difficult for him because of his nature. I want future guests to understand this fact.
