Hello hosts

I’m a 32 yr old architect from England and I’ve been travelling Asia since December 2016.

I’m nearing the end of my travels and starting 5 weeks in Japan. I’d love to get involved with the local lifestyle and all Japan has to offer as I’ve been particularly looking forward to this country my whole trip.

I’m quiet, considerate, socialable and believe in treating others the way I’d like to be treated myself. I’m great with adults, kids and am quite obsessed with animals. I’d also love the opportunity to learn as much Japanese as possible.

I look forward to meeting you :).

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m more of an indie/ live music lover, but I love music in general.

I love independent movies or foreign/art house films.. but mainly documentaries.

I’m currently trying to buy or swap as many of Haruki Murakami’s books as possible.
