Travelling around US/Canada for 3 weeks and reliving the glory days when Couchsurfer used to be rocking.

Lived in Japan for 4 years and the Netherlands for 1. Know things about psychology and can cook the absolute shit out of a lasagne, pizza, or gyouza. Hey, if you want some British cuisine (which yeah is mostly dire), then I can also whip up a Shepherd's Pie.

CAN be very laid back and go with the flow which often pays off when travelling/floating around and being open to so many new experiences. ALSO motivated and fun/sociable/banter!

Life history:
Bartender in UK > teacher in Japan > MSc student in Holland > Psychiatric unit care in UK > Qualified as a Psychological Practitioner & working towards a doctorate.
