*please check the “my home” section for important information about my rules for accepting surfers!*

I’m from Scotland (and I’m unapologetically proud about it haha)

Graduated from university last year and packed my bags and moved to Japan where I’m currently located teaching English on the JET Programme.

Still finding my feet in the world but hoping to see some cool stuff while I do that.

I love to travel and meet new people! Come and see me in Fukuyama :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently been introduced to the couch surfing community and had such a great experience that I wanted to get involved myself.
I feel really passionate about giving fellow women travellers a safe space to live as right now I have the absolute luxury to do that right now!

Interests

I love to be creative- playing guitar, ukulele, love to sing and when I find the time I also like to draw and paint. (Not particularly good at any of these but I give it a shot😂)

Sitting in a cosy cafe, drinking coffee, eating good vegan food.

Exploring a new city, or rediscovering an old favourite. Walking in the hills

Finding beauty in every day things.

• cats
• singing
• cooking
• politics

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to think I’m artsy, but I’m truly a sucker for a guilty pleasure. Maybe that just means I have eclectic taste?!
Some favourites of mine in these categories are Northern Sky, Lady Bird, Norwegian Wood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to Japan
(I just realised, in 2.5 years I’ve moved 4 times - 2 countries and 2 continents🗺)

Teach, Learn, Share

Im a newbie to the area too, but i’d be happy to share the things I’ve learned about my new city. Would love to hang out and hear your stories over a “dram”! If I like you, I will cook for you ;)

If you can help me with my Japanese, I’d be eternally grateful!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Most of my family are fluent Gaelic speakers, so I can teach you some useful phrases to give you Street Cred if you ever visit my homeland.

I also love to cook and would be happy to share some tasty recipes and cook for you!
