One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 17 I took a year out of school in London and went to high school in Tokyo whilst living with host families. It was the most awesome 6 months of travelling, studying and meeting new people whilst embracing a culture so different to my own! Japan was so beautiful and the people so kind :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Persian fluently and intermediate Japanese so if you are interested I can help you learn some phrases :)

If you want to learn how to play poker I am very keen to hold a tournament when staying at yours too!

I really want to start learning some Spanish myself.

I'm always looking for new exciting things to learn so i'm sure that we can exchange knowledge and skills somehow :)
