After working at a summer camp in the USA as a university student, then doing a trip around many national parks in western USA, I decided I want to see more of the world. I have since graduated from university, backpacked in Thailand and Japan, had a working holiday in Australia, returned to summer camp in the USA, and cycled around Europe for three months. I taught English in Japan for three years (2014-2017), cycled the length of Japan, around Scotland for three weeks 2018, and did a bike trip from Canada to Panama in 2018/19! I have recently moved back to Japan to teach English again, now living in Kitasenju area of Tokyo. I also lived in Amagasaki, Hyogo before.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
The best way to travel is to meet locals who live in and know the area. I was hosted by many people when cycling around Europe, and I then hosted many people in Japan.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've cycled toured in many places around the world. 8 counties in Europe. The length of Japan. Canada to Panama. I played Gaelic Football for the Japan team at the Asian Gaelic Games in Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur!
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to teach. I've worked as a football coach and spent two summers working at a summer camp in the USA, and taught English in Japan for three years.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Hopefully interesting conversation and good stories. I'll do my best to convince you that you should do a cycle trip! 😉
My Interests
