How a coin flip brought Cat to Japan

What life is like living next to Japanese in-laws

Her book: The quick guide to Traditional Japanese Arts and Handicrafts

About Cat:

After studying languages and linguistics at Monash University I caught the travel bug and came to Japan. I immediately fell in love with the culture, the people and the man who would become my husband. Once I married I became the wife of the eldest son in a farming family. Tradition. Tradition. Tradition. 

I'm a passionate learner, an avid reader and people describe me as a go-getter. Not a day goes by when I do not learn something new. I bring this passion for discovery to every project I work on.

You might wonder how I have time to be a mother (of two teenagers), heavily involved in the community in which we live and able to pursue my personal interests of sailing and embroidery as well as wearing and making kimono. My days are full but I start each one with a walk in the park with our Tohoku rescue-dog, Xyris. 

Life has been good to me. It would be my pleasure to discover something new and add to my personal knowledge of Japan and her rich culture by working together with you to bring your words to life - in English.

Her advice for people just starting to follow their passions

I got into photography as a way to capture my memories and express my creativity. I find myself attracted to the majestic beauty of nature and the rawness of the human spirit, with photography providing me an outlet to share my perspective with others. Sunsets, flowers, blue skies and capturing the pureness of the human emotion are some of my favourite subjects. My photos focus on the brighter side of life and serves as a reminder that there is joy in everyday places if we care to look for it.
