  Description

  Hi there! Matthew and I are currently travelling Japan in our kei van. We started our journey in Nozawa onsen, Nagano where we worked the ski season. We have made our way south to the beaches now and are looking forward to learning more of the Japanese language and culture.
  We both love to surf, ski/snowboard and get outdoors and are currently getting into photography.
  Matt is a musician, he plays the guitar, drums and keyboard.
  I am passionate about health and nutrition; I love to cook and do yoga.
