About Me

I'm a kiwi born and bred, currently living and working in Japan.
Worked in Toyama City for 5 years and Kanazawa for a year, moved back to New Zealand for 2 years to do some study, and now I am back in Kanazawa!!
I enjoy movies, video games, music, driving, and exploring.

Always keen to hang out and get food and watch a movie!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend had someone from Couchsurfing needing a place to stay, so i offered as i have plenty of space and am always happy for people to stay.

Encouraged me to sign up, and as i said, always offering my place if people need it, so decided to offer it further abroad.

Addition 2023: Still love meeting new people!

Interests

Reading, movies, video games, sport, acro yoga (just recently got into it), exploring new places, travelling.

Currently sitting at 28 prefectures seen and visited, with 19 more to go!

Music, Movies, and Books

Very open minded when it comes to music, with a definite leaning towards rock.

Love watching movies. Some of my favorites are by Wes Anderson, and always down for some over the top action superhero or monster movies.

Enjoy reading sci fi and fantasy style books. In particular a big fan of The Sword of Truth series.

One Piece live action is amazing. What we do in the shadows, movie and tv show. Love it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leave my very small town in New Zealand, and move to a completely different country with a completely different culture and a completely different language, and meet a bunch of completely awesome bunch of new friends.
