Half Japanese, Half English, born in NZ. Lived in England for 7 years, NZ for a total of 14, Florida for 6 months and now In Kochi, Japan until at least august 2016.
Love guitar, fishing, kayaking, Disney and Whiskey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For my stay on the JET program I was provided an apartment and there are entire rooms I don't use. I love having people around and meeting new people, as well as making those lasting connections around the world.

Interests

First major purchase here in Japan was a guitar. I love music and finding new things to get into.
I started playing frisbee here and I'm loving that, and I played Hockey and Kayak Polo back in NZ. As for other sports, I'll gladly watch some rugby with you:p
I'm always down for a drink and a Roadtrip, and a good nabe party in the winter!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- so wide. My shuffle goes from Trivium to Taylor Swift to American Football to Steve Aoki. Got a beat or a catchy hook and that isn't too contrived? I'll probably be into it.
Movies. Kill Bill. Wayne's World. Cabin In The Woods. The Devil Wears Prada. And things in between.
Recently moved here so my book collection in it's current form doesn't exist! But I'll always take recommendations but something that will make me think a bit. I hate being proven wrong unless it's in a book by something I wasn't expecting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While working at Disney and being Rick Ross' neighbour for a week, I babysat the kids of a rock star.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you hear that story about he philosophy teacher and the jar and the golf balls and the rocks and sand? If not it's a good one, and it's true. There IS always room for a beer with friends

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of floor space, and I like to think I'm fairly active in showing people things that this area is known for, or are fun to do.
A lot of that revolves around drinking spots (this is Kochi after all) so preferably you'll be down for a drink!
