I'm an Australian who was born in Japan and moved to Canberra aged 3. I also lived in England for 3 years as a teenager. I quit my job recently to travel around Europe, starting in Spain then to France, UK and who knows where after that.

Interests

I love to draw and paint. I have brought my sketchbook and I'm always looking for opportunities to draw scenery and people along the road.
