Just spent a year and a half teaching in Hawaii and am now moving back to Tokyo (previously lived there for about three years). Lived in mainland China (Beijing & Shanghai) for a few years, and Hong Kong for about 4 years. I majored in Philosophy at Stanford.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly just to meet people and make new friends. I'm living in a share house in central Tokyo and am not allowed to have guests. I might be willing to meet up for coffee.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't listen to much music, but I read a lot of non-fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
