ABOUT ME

I love change and meeting new people. While raising my bicultural Japanese/American kids I have hosted more than 100 exchange students and international guests. The kids are leaving the nest, and now it's my turn to travel too.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To meet people from all over as both host and guest.

Interessen

Teaching English and Japanese language, organizing language and culture exchange activities, exploring local areas, hanging out and talking with new people.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Worldbeat; just about anything that reflects a certain place or era.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Raised two wonderful kids who are as interested in the world and its people as I am, and who will hopefully have even more opportunities than I did to explore those interests.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

My passion is to develop games and other activities to provide a fun, casual structure for people to exchange information about their language, culture, and themselves.
