Music, Movies, and Books

Comedy movies, Mainly enjoy chilled out music with a bit of an alternativey rock feel to it. Been reading a bit of Japanese manga recently to try and learn more Japanese

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been hitching around Japan, tenting and staying at friends houses when possible. One night I went to the top of Asahidake in Hokkaido and expected it to not be too cold due to the fact it was summer but there was still a lot of snow up there and I pitched my tent and spent the night in the snow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to teach anyone english who wants to learn and also all sorts of recipes I know. It would be nice to experience a little bit more of the german culture since everything I do in regards to University and general life revolves around english.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, Japan, New Zealand
