I grew up in Canada (Toronto and Ottawa). After finishing university worked in Gent, Belgium for 2 years and then moved to Wellington, New Zealand for 2 years.

I have been working in Niseko, Hokkaido (ski resort) the past winter.

Really adore books, hiking, gardens and eating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have about 6 weeks of traveling in Japan (mostly by myself as my friends have left) before I begin work - it, would be lovely to talk and meet people in the area.
