I live on the western coast of Japan with my husband, Walter, and our cat. We've been couchsurfing since our days in Peace Corps.

I always bring a gift when I surf!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have only had one negative couchsurfing experience while hosting. How many other things give you that rate of success??? I LOVE COUCHSURFING!

Interests

Public radio, politics, watching movies, coffee and fireworks.

Am always looking for recommedations of any of these things. And if you're lucky I'll make you a mixed tape.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught my Ukrainian students how to do the 'Thriller' and we performed in front of the entire school. We crushed it! Afterward, one of them said, "I think Michael was looking down on us from Heaven and was very proud." One of the best experiences ever.
