CURRENT MISSION

To somehow find that perfect balance between earning enough money to travel, and doing enough travel to avoid working!

ABOUT ME

After spending too long doing the sensible thing - studying and then working, I decided it was time to do what I’d always wanted to do: travel. But I wanted to live in another country to experience the wierd and wonderful parts of daily life there, not just travel through it. So now I’m in my third year of living and teaching English in Japan!

PHILOSOPHY

To live life with no regrets about the things I didn't do.

Life is only once, apparently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to use the CS network to make some contacts on my travels, share some advice about good places to go, and hopefully spend the odd night on someone's couch. When I'm back in Nagoya, I hope I can return the favour.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had a couple of CS experiences so far, but I had some aweome, crazy times & so many of my friends have had good stories about their expeiences too, so I just want fo do
more couhcsurfing!!!!!
