Overview
About Me
I am a very friendly, energetic, easy going and happy person. I love to travel and meet new people. My job is teaching English and I love English grammar, teaching and children very much. I grew up in Australia but I have lived in Japan before to teach English, which is my passion.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to meet people from new countries and discover the culture of the country I am travelling to and I think the best way to learn about a country and its culture is from local people. The most fascinating thing about different countries is different cultural customs which I love to learn.
Interests
My hobby is running and mountain hiking and I love to challenge many kinds of new activities. I also love to learn languages and can speak a little Japanese and Portuguese. I love to study Japanese 'Keigo' but it's difficult..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Only one? I think life is amazing so it's hard to say just one.. Hmmm.... maybe climbing Mount Fuji or backpacking through Cambodia, Vietnam for 6 weeks by myself. Or hiking through the Peru mountains to Macchu Picchu. Or what about travelling through Brazil. Ooohhh, I want to say "Everything!"
