I'm Sophie and I'm an Australian currently living and working in the land of the free with my lovely partner, Owen. At the moment I have a job in the video games industry however in the future I think I'd like to do something that didn't involve quite so much time spent in front of a monitor. I'm excitable and outgoing and generally pretty fearless. I like both dogs and cats and harbour a secret love of uncool community festivals.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've done and seen many amazing things however I suspect the things that are most amazing in my opinion would be largely uninteresting to most everybody else. Spending a year at a Japanese high school with no other English speakers and initially being unable to communicate with anybody was an amazing but mixed experience.

教，学，和分享

If you're an English speaking Japanese learner I can tell you about the things that really confused me. I can also suggest places to go, things to do and food to eat in Japan. Otherwise, I can tell you what I know about the late republican period in Rome and teach you the basics of cross stitching. I may also beat you in trivial pursuit, but who knows? I used to play the violin but I'd really like to learn some more or learn some fiddle. Most of all I'd like to practice Japanese!
