About Me

Current City
---------------
I'm currently in Thailand about to return to Australia for a short while.

History
---------
I grew up between the UK and the US in the late 80s early 90s so I got a very mixed upbringing. But I have made up for it since, I've been living internationally for the last 10 years now. 4 years in Japan, 2 years between Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. I'm fun but practical and mature, I'm good with computers and can juggle and perform diabolo. I love traveling, eating new and exotic foods and I've gone through a lot of changes in the past 6 years both mentally and physically. In 2012 I weight 565 lbs (256 kg) I have now lost over 300 lbs (135 kg), I have also grown a lot emotionally and spiritually. I'd love to tell you more over an chai tea some time :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been traveling through Asia for a number of years now, working and just visiting. The next leg of my journy will be my 5th time in Brisbane. I'll be in Australia about a month moving around. I'd love to meet some like minded people along the way.

Interests

I speak fluent Japanese, I love learning new languages and cultures. I love meeting new people and getting to know new ways of life. I love food, animals travel seeing amazing natural landscapes and sharing experiences with amazing people.
