I'm laid back but also love to get out and do some trekking or running. I am half Japanese half British and grew up in Kenya and am graduating with an MSc in Biology. I enjoy discussing philosophies, sharing experiences and hearing the experiences/views of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like most other couchsurfers i enjoy travelling and meeting new people along the way. I particularly love exploring local cultures and trying traditional food. I've had many positive couchsurfing experiences in the past (even before i joined this site) with genuinely lovely people.

Interests

My main academic interests are Ecological Restoration and rehabilitating damaged ecosystems, Agroecology & Agroforestry. I love drawing, painting, sculpture and anything creative, which i think includes cooking too! I'm also really interested in meditation (particularly vipassana) and yoga and practice regularly.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like thrillers, thought-provoking films and comedies. I listen to quite a wide range of music from chilled/ambient to dnb and techno.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of basic Japanese or Swahili (or even some biology if you're interested!)
