Turning Japanese

Not original but personal. A friend once started singing to me 'Turning Japanese. I think you're turning Japanese.' She was, of couse, refering to my habit of taking a huge amount of photos everywhere I go. I hope you enjoy seeing into my world just a little bit.

About Me

Turning Japanese: I was living in the lovely sea side town of Hikari in Japan. I had the most wonderful time over two years. I feel so lucky to have shared so many special times with friends and families. I am now home in Melbourne. I have gone back to work and enjoy teaching in a local primary school. I originally come from a small town 2 hours from Melbourne in Australia. One day love to be a travel photographer. I really don't want to stop travelling. Watchout world!
