I was born in Osaka, to a Scottish mother and a Japanese father. Lived there for 3 months, then moved to England for 2 years. After that I lived in Düsseldorf, Germany, for 5 years, then moved back to England. In 2010, I spent a year at Kyushu University, Fukuoka. As well as contributing to JapanTourist, I'm currently working in UK-Japan trade, Jpn-Eng translation and democracy promotion. I'll eventually return to Japan to teach English.

While in Fukuoka, I enjoyed heading out to town to either Xaymaca or Bourbon Street (my 2 favourite bars), slurping on Hakata ramen at a yatai and cycling around the quiet rural areas. Japan has always been special to me and Fukuoka is like a second home. Although I'd like to see Fukuoka remain the same (not too quiet, not too busy), I want everyone to go and experience how amazing it is. I look forward to sharing my many adventures of Fukuoka.

ADDITION: I recently moved to Ibaraki Prefecture so expect to see plenty on Ibaraki added to my memories of Fukuoka.
