Children story writer from London who is in Japan on a working holiday visa.

Finally in Japan, I knew it was time to Explore.

Planned to solo trek all the 47 prefectures in Japan (I already walked from Tokyo to Kyoto for a month) but circumstances meant that I can only do it in segments while teaching english. Still going to happen!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The people and nature is what makes a place for me. Nature is always there, and apart from the people I randomly meet while travelling, it would be great to meet english-speaking locals to have deeper talks with less wild hand gestures :)

Interested in many things, from the grand universe to the small details on leaves.
