Kia Ora. I currently teach English to Japanese students in the Miyagi area. I was born and raised in New Zealand where I also graduated with my Bachelors degree in Marketing and Management.

I love to travel and meet new people!

I have been playing guitar for nearly 10 years within many different rock, blues, alternative and jazz bands. Also can play a little bit of drums and piano, just don't expect me to sing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My family has a saying, "You never meet anyone interesting staying at a hotel". I want to get the real experience of a country by staying with locals.
