CURRENT MISSION

I want to experience and understand Japan for myself. I believe the only way to understand any society or culture is to live and work there. Travelling to, or through an area or country does not allow time for cultural understanding.

ABOUT ME

I graduated university with a computer science degree that I knew I did not wish to use. So I took a job in a Health Food shop. At the beginning I didn't know much about alternative foods, herbs or treatments. Over time I took different courses and learned about all things alternative. I loved working in this industry, and I especially loved beoing able to offer advice to people and see that it worked!

PHILOSOPHY

It's all good!
Retrospect allows us to see that everything, even the things that we first thought were bad or negative, helped to bring us to exactly where we are in life right now.

Interests

Music. Shamisen. Travelling. Natural food. Herbs. Sumo. Hurling.
