Hello! I'm a clothes designer from the United Kingdom. My favourite hobbies are learning about Japanese language and culture, and playing card/board games. I also am a budding science fiction author and currently working on my first book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling to new frontiers and meeting new people in order to broaden my imagination and knowledge of the world. Couchsurfing is such a great way to facilitate this and I can learn so much from my hosts about the town/city I'm staying in. Much better than hotel guides!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've started a project documenting transgender and gender non-confirming characters in anime, manga and video games subcultures. It's at its early stages but it's very rewarding to research these characters and present them in a way that hasn't been done before. The blog is here: http://www.trapdisposalunit.tumblr.com/
