CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to hang out.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 y/o American from Georgia, been living in Kyoto for close to three years. I'm a translator at a company called Hatena during the week, woodblock printmaker on the weekends. I'm engaged to and live with my lovely and abnoxiously loud fiancée Tomoyo, who is a nail artist.

PHILOSOPHY

I used to do philosophies, but now I guess I'm just trying to make a living and take it easy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did a little hosting a few years ago. Sadly I don't have any extra space in my house now, but I'd like to hang out with some travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a handful of people, been a while though.

Interests

printmaking, translation, music, playing drums, cooking, travel, food, beer, other types of edible things, karaoke, arcades, ice cream, I guess that would go under edible things, Asia, Japanese (people, culture, language), and many other things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things I've done would probably sound pretty normal written down, because they're all just great times with friends. But those are the experiences I think are the most valuable to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a Japanese translator, so I could teach you some J-talk, my Japanese is far from perfect but, meh!
