For now I can't host couch surfing due to my work schedule but if I have time I don't mind meeting up and guiding people around Osaka :)

I'm from Manchester but live in Osaka.

I'm pretty introverted but easy to get along with and am always happy to share my stories. I'm very curious and love learning so I often have many questions about daily life, customs, the local history etc.

I work as an English and yoga teacher but I graduated in graphic design. My passion lies in dance, design and crafts so I like to learn about Japanese design and visit dance studios when I can :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard about couchsurfing a lot... and I've always been a bit nervous to try it. But why not, I get to meet interesting people where we can share stories and experiences. The best times I've had travelling was when I was Couchsurfing.
