Raymond Borres

Hello! I'm Raymond Borres, a 4th-year Automotive Engineering student at Nagoya University. I have way too many hobbies and not enough time for all of them—but that doesn't stop me from trying! I love running, cycling, hiking, and playing sports whenever I get the chance. When I'm not moving, I'm probably in the kitchen cooking (and, of course, eating), or messing around with my camera, trying to capture cool shots. I also enjoy playing video games, though lately, time hasn't been on my side. Life's too short to stick to just one thing, so I'm out here exploring as much as I can!

Hi, my name is Caleb Johann Candelaria, a 4th year Automotive (Mechanical) Engineering student. If not in class, laboratory, or at my baito, you'll probably find me working for free at the university's FSAE team. In my virtually non-existent free time, I like to go cycle around, take photos with my old camera, go eat or travel somewhere, or try new things.

Rafi Rizqy Firdaus

Hello, I'm Rafi Rizqy Firdaus, currently a G30 Physics Science student in his senior year. Time flew really fast, being a fourth year is both a blessing and a curse depending on how one perceives it. Thanks to my friends in the astronomy club, I'm able to say that astrophotography is a hobby that I do with irrational passion. Besides astrophotography, I do running, mountain climbing, and sometimes cycling. Because I am really attached to nature, naturally I grew a lot of interest in traveling as well. Despite seeing nature as one of the charms of traveling, having conversations with the locals is really satisfying and probably the best part of traveling
