About Me

Hello! I'm an open minded adventurer who was born and raised in North London, England. The grass is always greener, so I moved to the US 8 years ago and haven't looked back since. I currently live in Chicago, and previously spent 5 years being lucky enough to live in the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, NYC.

I'm half English, half Japanese, so I have both an outgoing and quite side to me. I love meeting new people, listening to new perspectives and having deep conversations about the nuances of life and the world. Being English, I do have a deep passion for football (soccer), and love to share my passion by both playing and watching games. I have an eclectic mix of interests including fashion, as I recently graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). I'm looking forward to meeting and experiencing life with many wonderful Couchsurfers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As of July 2018, I started a motorcycle adventure across the US to discover what the rest of the US has to offer and meet cool and interesting people. I started on Couchsurfing on this trip and it has been amazing to hang out and stay with so many cool Couchsurfers. After just over a month of traveling through the US, I met a couple of amazing Aussies at a hostel in Denver. We traveled together for a week through Colorado, then they asked me if I want to travel down through Central America with them. I said yes, and I ended up going all the way down to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Having the best time and meeting so many incredible people along the way. 😃🤙🏼

After I got back to the States, I end up moving to Chicago for a job in advertising. I have been presented with another opportunity to travel before my job starts, so I am aiming to finish my original US adventure.
