Nice to meet you! I'm Becky :)

I work as an English teacher in Sabae, Fukui! I have lived in Japan for one and a half years now, and I love it! In my spare time, I like to travel around Japan in my old car and study Japanese. I love food and eating. My favourite Japanese food is Fukui's own sauce katsudon - a must try if you decide to visit Fukui!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I am in Japan, I would love to visit all of the prefectures! I'd like to use Couchsurfing to meet interesting and like-minded people, and get local recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, at the time I was thinking "terrifying" not "amazing", but I've bungee jumped off Macau Tower, the tallest bungee jump in the world! Would I do it again? Not any time soon!

Clubbing with sumo wrestlers in Sendai!

Climbing Mount Fuji will stay with me forever (the physical and emotional scars)

Seeing a giant sea turtle while snorkelling off an island in Okinawa was unbelievable!

Participating in the Aomori Nebuta festival!

Trying (and failing) to balance a bamboo pole of lanterns over my head at the Akita Kanto festival!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love meeting people from different cultures and I like to hear other people's travel stories!

Countries I’ve Lived In

China, Japan
