About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To understand difference.

ABOUT ME

I'm a student currently completing honours in Anthropology at the University of Western Australia.

I'm an avid writer and reader.

I love meeting new people. My studies revolve around people and culture.

My mother is Japanese and my father is English but I've lived in Australia almost all my life.

Travel is everything to me.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to meet people and to attempt to understand the inherent differences between us. This sounds lame I guess, but people are ever-interesting to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to and seen some amazing things, but my favourite cities are Osaka, Vienna and Copenhagen.

When I was 18 I lived in Denmark - a country that at the time was completely alien to me - for a year on Rotary Exchange.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've traveled a lot for my age. I've been all over Europe, Japan, some of Thailand and Indonesia, and a few other Asian countries.

I've lived in Denmark and Australia. I've attended school in Japan (for a short period), Australia and Denmark.

I have above average English skills for a native speaker - I will eventually teach it in Australian high schools and, if everything goes to plan, in Japanese and Danish schools one day too.

I can speak some Danish and Japanese.
