興趣: I'm a 41 year old Australian living in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. I have lived in Japan for twelve years but have also lived in the People's Republic of China for one year.
My hobbies are marathon running and reading. I have run three full marathons and my best time is 4:12:24. I haven't been able to enter any races because of the COVID pandemic but am really looking forward to doing so when possible.
I love to read both fiction and non fiction. My favorite authors are Irvine Welsh, Arundhati Roy, George Orwell and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. My favorite books are Frankenstein, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Trainspotting, The God of Small Things, The Road to Wigan Pier and Brave New World.
I have an internationalist outlook and believe that we are intrinsically linked to each other without even knowing it. Most mornings, we are reliant on most of the world to eat our breakfast. As such, I am really enthusiastic to learn more about countries and cultures that I am geographically removed from.
