About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel as widely as possible and meet as many new people as I can whilst I'm still young!

ABOUT ME

When I finished at my schools in Japan, they all wrote me messages saying how much they will miss my smile.

I'm happy, laughing and smiling pretty much all of the time, regardless of what happens.

I'm one of those people who will watch a TV programme by myself and still be laughing out loud.
Ever sent me an amusing message? Probably burst out laughing in the staffroom. Awkward.

Even when my shower froze in Iwate's winter and I was left FREEZING cold in my hallway, I was laughing out loud. To myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for loving and laughing, preferably at the same time. Give me a little and I'll give you it back tenfold.

Interests

I'm interested in meeting new people, experiencing new things and having the best time possible.

I like sport- mainly netball and tennis back home, but took up snowboarding in Japan and hope to try out some watersports this summer! Want to see sumo and baseball while in Japan.

Other than that, I like going on a run in nice weather, reading, and most importantly, FOOD. I love it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nearly vomited but ate 100 bowls of wanko soba and got a PLAQUE, yes!

Teach, Learn, Share

Ready to teach anyone English. Have a year's Japanese so can teach conversational Japanese.
Also studied Ancient Greek and Latin from 14-21....may have forgotten a lot but if you're a massive geek like me and are interested, I'll be more than glad to show you some.

Cook at lot back in England but find it pretty difficult to come by ingredients in Japan but maybe can teach some English cooking!
