One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Represented Ecuador and Scotland at Karate.
Spent around 4 years travelling around some of the wildest places on the planet. Lived in Japan for 5 years exploring a culture incredibly different from my own.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Japanese, Spanish, English, self-defence and all about birds and nature.
I really want to learn/practice languages. Especially German/Portuguese/French/Mandarin. I love language exchanges.
I'd love to share travel experiences and hear about places I haven't been yet.
