About Me

CURRENT MISSION

take it easy, and enjoy my life

ABOUT ME

I am optimistic and serious. I like travelling and laid back. What am I like? I'll ask my husband later :)

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that I and people who would see in the future could be linked by fate, though I’m not sure exactly what fate is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was travelling in Europe in 2006, I met Ray, who was a couchsurfer. He told me about CS, and I registered soon after I returned home. But I had been quite busy for a while, so I couldn't participate in CS in fact. Recently (August 2008), I could take part in CS at last!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met some CS friends in Japan, and showed them around Kobe,Osaka and Kyoto. Whenever I hang out with them and they asked me some questions, I also found something new about Japan. That is very interesting.
If you like Japanese local foods, I can take you to "IZAKAYA" for dinner, where you can eat and drink economical foods and can watch Japanese local people's life:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day at Lijiang, Yunnan, countryside of China, I had my purse stolen. (It is only one time so far ;))That was a bad experience, but nice people helped me. A man in a bank gave me some money until I had enough money, and a boy selling newspaper gave me lunch even though he was not that rich. That was, in some means, amazing experience, though I wouldn't have again;)
