About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the next thing.

ABOUT ME

I love language learning, traveling, and getting a new perspective on the world. I'm just winding up a four year stint in Japan as an English teacher on the Japanese government's Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme. I'm 29, and in a committed long distance relationship. I don't smoke, but I do enjoy a social drink. I like coffee. I like it a lot :)

PHILOSOPHY

1) Treat others as you'd like to be treated.
2) When something is out of your control, there's no point stressing over it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to all this - I may be available as a host for the next month or so (after which I'll be moving). Try me and see. After that, I hope to do some surfing myself. Wishing I'd discovered this site 3 years ago and had more time to host surfers in Shimabara!
