Hey everyone! I'm an English teacher in rural Northern Hokkaido! It's a tiny town, but also a bit fairy tale-esque. The winter brings a lot of snow, but the summer is mild and has gorgeous pink moss! Come visit; it's worth the trip!

**I am not close /at all/ to Sapporo**

I like learning, seeing, and doing. There are a lot of things in this world I want to experience, and I am getting the chance to really start doing so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done part (not all, sadly) of the 88 Temple Pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan. Easily one of the coolest experiences I've had; when it's time for me to move out of Japan, I am going to do the entire pilgrimage in one go.
