Grew up in the US and now living in Japan. I used to teach English here and now I'm moving and working different short term jobs. I've worked at a ski lodge in Yamagata, a bakery in Okayama, and now a kosher restaurant in Tokyo. I'm coming up on a two and half years in Japan. Hoping to move to Europe after that to further my studies in music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet more people and get a local's perspective on a city. There's only so much Google and Lonely Planet can tell you.
