CURRENT MISSION

Not to get frustrated easily... haha

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the suburbs of Tokyo and spent three years of my elementary school years in Hong Kong. I've been living in the states since the last year of High School, mostly in Texas. I love traveling but never been to Europe/South America. It's a working progress. I used to cut hair for living. Currently I am on a break, playing house wife at home and volunteering part-time at hospitals.

Other than traveling and meeting new people, I love reading, listening to music, cooking (esp. ethnic cooking), going outdoor (camping, hiking, marathon, triathlon, mountain biking, surfing, snowboarding, scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, tennis, baseball, golfing... anything active!), and lastly, I like to dress up and go out sometimes =) I am a social drinker. I do NOT smoke.

PHILOSOPHY

If you can't be satisfied where you are today, you'll never be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I start from where I can. I love cooking and eating . So my wish is to make many global friends through yummy food =) If you get a chance to stay at my place when my schedule is relaxed, you'll be treated to delicious home cooking! My husband is supportive of the CS idea and loved having our first surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am still a newbie but experienced both hosting and being hosted. They both turned out to be awesome experiences! I will keep forwarding the kindness I received while traveling...
