CURRENT MISSION

eat. ALL. the. cheese.

ABOUT ME

Tall, fun, adventurous, and spicy - those were the words that popped into my head first. Also, spicy is a fun word.
Hello! I'm Holly, a 5'11 Nigerian-American currently living in Japan working on the JET Program. I'm obsessed with laughing and salty food, am a child of tumblr, and squee whenever I see dogs with stubby legs (read: dachshunds, corgies). I'm loud and fun but also quite shy when it comes to staying at other people's spaces, mostly because I love my own space so much and know how much effort goes into making a home, home. Feel free to chat me up if you want to learn anything more!

PHILOSOPHY

Life's too short to go on about how short it is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel a lot while in Japan, and am also up to hosting if you're the kind of person who doesn't mind the whole rural thing :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Don't have any yet! So let's get to it, shall we?

Interests

I love to read, binge through television shows on Netflix, dance (all kinds! Including ballroom), swoon over the majesty that is cheese, wish on falling stars and explore new places! Talk to me about Zelda and that conversation will never end. Ever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw Bjork live and I'm struggling to compare that with anything else I've done -- oh! Packed up and moved to Japan. That's pretty amazing :)
