Sophia Wasylinko has been writing ever since she can remember, including for her university paper and student magazine. Her interest in Japanese culture took off in her late teens when she started watching anime. In the summer before her graduation, Sophia went on a solo trip to Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, meeting up with former exchange students, visiting many museums, and eating delicious food. Nowadays, she works at her local library, reads 2-3 books at the same time, and searches for new anime to watch. She hopes to return to Japan, specifically Kyoto, soon.
