I'm open-minded, independent, and love a rich social scene. I am passionate about music, art, theatre, conversation, illustrating, and writing. I enjoy kickboxing, hiking, and surfing. I have just started working as an Assistant Language Teacher in Tokushima, Japan.

I tend to gravitate toward creative, quirky, fun, nature-loving, peaceful people. I prefer kindness over conflict, beauty over brawn, and brains over beauty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been part of the Couchsurfing community for quite some time now, and it remains to be one of the most useful and reliable resources to meet the best kinds of people and discover new places from a locals perspective. It is a constant reminder of the kindness, and love, and overwhelming hospitality that exists in people from all walks of life, from all over the world.

I would like to meet some English speaking locals in Tokushima, and/or locals patient enough to help me learn Japanese.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sat face to face with a peacock as it enveloped me in its tail feathers...it was intense.

Teach, Learn, Share

My philosophy...

Love
Try anything once
Everything in moderation, especially moderation!

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I have to offer is a positive energy, a good sense of humour, an enthusiasm to get out and see the world, and a rather curious and cheeky inner child. I love to drink, try new things, and I love talking to people and making deep connections. You will find me kind, gracious, and willing to contribute to the harmony of our time together in any way that I can.
