Overview
About Me
Quit my job in Feb 2018 and started travelling. After returning from my trip to Japan, I decided that there's much more to life than to work 9-5 and going on a quick holiday for the rest of your life. Currently on a working holiday Visa in Osaka.
I'm fascinated by food and different cultures. Particularly how each culture lives in the modern age - how they differ from my own upbringing including both their struggles and triumphs. I would be delighted to learn from anyone from around the world whether or not they are locals or travellers.
