Hey, my name is Christian. Currently living way up north in Hirosaki, Aomori. Grew up in the hottest state (Arizona) and then decided to go to college in the freezing Midwest. I'm on the JET Program teaching English at a local high school, enjoying the slower-paced, country-side life of Japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people from all over and hopefully making some connections for future traveling!

Interests

Music - any free time I have I'm usually looking up new music on blogs, Soundcloud, etc. Very into 80s New Wave. Open to all types of music but generally listen to alternative/indie rock/pop/hip hop. My dream would be to score the soundtrack for movies, but in the meantime I'll settle for making mix CDs for my friends.

Movies - I'm a huge horror movie fan! Any and all genres of horror are good with me, especially foreign. I'm also into other genres of film too, so any recommendations you have, send 'em my way!

Cooking - Yeeaa...for most of my life neither of my parents cooked haha so it's a work in progress. I'm getting better and just trying out new stuff all the time
