About Me

I will be starting a new job in Hong Kong come summer.

Currently, I'm sitting in Japan as an elementary school English teacher. I spend my time studying Japanese or some other random topic, going on adventures, and baking all together too much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the philosophy of Couchsurfing, and I always prefer meeting new people over boring hotels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Russian Lit. (Brothers K, Anna Karenina, etc), Lolita, LoTR, Terry Pratchet, Harry Potter, For The Sake of All Living Things, Wally Lamb.

Movies: Ghibli, LoTR, The Disney Empire, Star Wars, Wolf Children, The Intouchables, How to Train Your Dragon (1&2).

Music: Mostly classical, but I also like to listen and play folk/gospel/Celtic/indie. My favorite composer is tied between Tchaikovsky and Dvorak. Honorable mentions: John Powell, Chopin, John Williams, Debussy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to help you practice English, and am always interested in learning how to cook local foods!
