Living in Tokyo suits me because it's such an exciting city and I'm an excitable person, so I think we go well together.
Japan has been home for four non-consecutive years now and really enjoy it here, I don't plan on going anywhere any time soon, though eventually it might be cool to see how living in other far flung places compares. I really love to travel though, both in and outside of Japan, there are so many cool places I want to visit!
I teach for a living and like working with teenagers a lot most of the time. My job makes me laugh most days and that's something I try not to take for granted.
Learning, being creative, exploring new places and trying new things are all things I really enjoy. I studied art at university, but make stuff rarely now, I find my creativity comes out in different ways though, through cooking, making gifts for friends or just daydreaming a little; I like to have fun with it.
Creative culture is a big part of my life, I love watching films, listening to music and going to museums or galleties to discover new stuff with friends. I like being intellectually challenged and enjoy healthy discussion.

Enjoying Tokyo and the advent of picnic season.

helping young people believe they are not useless, thinking of the perfect gift for someone and being romantic.

is the fact that I'm quite animated.

It's been too far too long since someone gave me butterflies in my stomach.

you live close enough that we can actually meet and think we genuinely have something in common, let's talk about it!
