ABOUT ME

I'm an elementary school music teacher at an international school in Japan! I LOVE my students and all of the opportunities to travel around Japan (and to other countries!). I try to learn something new every day and enjoy the time I have with my friends and family. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet great new people and share our cultures with each other!

Interests

I like to cook, eat, play music, and go on runs. Spring and summer are my favorite time of the year - there's nothing better than eating dinner outside with friends on a perfect summer evening!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to watch Game of Thrones and read Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling has been an incredible part of my life so far. I went on my first solo trip to Peru when I was 20, and after having an incredible experience exploring Machu Picchu and some of the other ruins in Cusco, I promised myself I'd spend as much time as I could exploring the world and learning more about other people. I moved to Japan earlier this year (at 22) and have been blown away by the simultaneous feelings of peace I've felt at shrines and temples and crazy excitement I've experienced in Tokyo. I'm excited to continue my travels throughout Japan and hopefully to more places as my life goes on!
