24, British, female. Avid traveler whenever work allows - working to travel. Working in Japan at local city hall, doing international exchange things (translation, interpretation, promotion etc - see my Life in Maniwa instagram page for more info!). My hobbies include photography (still learning!), learning new languages, travel (of course) and reading (SF, fantasy, etc).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to travel - often solo, so getting to know people in local communities who can show me the best spots is always part of my best trips! Always willing to return the favour if anyone visits my tiny little corner of Japan's countryside :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: pretty much anything. EDM when working out, piano when trying to sleep, general rock/indie for long drives, it all depends on my mood and the spotify playlist.
Movies: Marvel! SF - Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, all the classics.
Books: it's been a while since I read anything, but SF - Patricia Briggs, Nalini Singh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved to the other side of the world alone to work in the backwaters of Japan (I know a lot of people can say the same, but I'm still kind of proud of myself for it).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Japanese language/sign language. Info on Japan/living there/travelling advice. I'm not the most interesting person, but pretty laid back and willing to help out wherever I might be needed/able to.
