CURRENT MISSION

to be brave, to seize the day, to live without regrets...and to smile!

ABOUT ME

One of the biggest decisions I've made so far in my life is to up-sticks and move to the other side of the world. So now I'm currently living in Tokyo Bay with my flatmate Emily... and it's the best decision I've ever made! We're both English teachers and it's the first time for both of us to live and work long-term in Japan.

I'm really enjoying working here, exploring Japan and meeting lots of cool people from all walks of life. I hope to continue meeting many more interesting travellers through couchsurfing and to swap and share travel stories...and perhaps a spot of karaoke too! :)

PHILOSOPHY

The words of Maaike (one of our couchsurfers) "just be in the moment".

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The world is a pretty big place full of fascinating things and fascinating people. I would love to meet those people and to learn about different cultures and ways of life. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm fairly new to couchsurfing, although I've had a few hosting experiences in Japan through my flatmate Emily. All of the hosting experiences were great and this has encouraged me to join couchsurfing myself.

Интересы

I love acting, drama, the theatre... in fact performing arts in general.

I like photography and would love to get better at it!

I have recently discovered a crazy passion for snowboarding and would go snowboarding every week if I had the power to change the weather :p
