Originally from the UK, now I live in Tohoku, Japan. I want to stay here long-term, so I'm trying to improve my Japanese. It's a slow process, but I love the language and really enjoy learning it (controversial opinion: I love kanji!) I also love Norway and Norwegian, although I'm not actively studying it at the moment. I'm interested in a lot of things! For now, I'm mostly into yoga, dance, writing (fiction), learning to draw, reading, baking, aerial (hoop/pole), animals (cats, corvids and giraffes in particular), Pokemon, Final Fantasy (mostly VII Remake, but also X and XII), culture, travel and nature.
