Hello! I'm a British graduate currently travelling around Japan on a one year working holiday visa. When I return to the UK I'll work as a CG artist on films or video games which explains my interest in Japan - when I was about 14 I started watching anime and got hooked. These days though I'm interested in much broader aspects of Japanese culture: history, art, nature, language... and of course food and drink ;)

I love exploring new cities, discovering hidden cafes, live music, drinking with friends. I'm not just using couchsurfing as a place to crash - I hope we can go do some exploring together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see Japan the way the locals see it - not just hotels and hostels. Couchsurfing is a great idea, not only does it help out poor travellers, but it promotes trust, friendship, and helps us all understand more about different cultures!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- Rock, Pop, and a whole lot of electric/ambient/chill out. Some of my favourites right now are Purity Ring, Mystery Skulls, and Alt-J.

Movies- I watch a lot of movies! Pretty much everything except horror but sci-fi/fantasy are probably my favourites. Interstellar, Avatar, Coraline, anything by Studio Ghibli...

Books- All time favourite is His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. I'm making my way through Terry Pratchett's Discworld books at the moment! Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings...
