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.
