  • Description

    Hi hosts!

    I'm Isabel, 31 from England. I live in Isumi, Japan with my husband and our cat Haku.

    I have an bachelor's degree in psychology and worked as an English (TEFL) teacher in South Korea and China, before living in Nepal for a while and then moving to Japan.

    I've explored 31 countries so far and have done a lot along the way. Most of my work has been in teaching and hospitality. I currently help my husband's parents with their business, growing fig trees and making fig cakes and other delicious fig treats.

    I have a lot of hobbies and interests, including hiking and mountaineering, swimming and snorkelling, gardening and exploring nature, reading, photography, art and crafts, spirituality, philosophy and astronomy etc. I also like learning new languages.

    As a person I believe I'm easy going, open minded and reflective. I'm an introvert but like socialising with like-minded people. I can work well both as part of a team and independently once guidance has been given. I love meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures, hearing their life stories and sharing mine.
