Hi, my name is Steve M. I currently live in a small town near Cape Erimo in Hokkaido, Japan. It is about four hours away from Sapporo, but I like it - mainly because there are many good surf points up and down the coast. Here is a video I made that I uploaded to my blog.

I also like backcountry snowboarding... and hamburgers!

I like to teach English as well. I am a qualified ESOL teacher and have been working in Hokkaido since 1999. It has been a great experience. In fact, I`m not sure I can leave!

I still have my tonsils though!
