Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learning languages and interacting with other nationalities!
ABOUT ME
After graduating from university, I settled in Osaka for work. As I had grown up in the north-east Japan, I don't have many friends here. But thanks to Couchsurfing, I made friends worldwide. Even I met my husband thanks to this website. Me and my husband both like to learn languages, are always welcome to meet up with the people around.
So about myself, I'm not that modest quiet Japanese, but people say I'm open minded person. I respect other cultures and hopefully have life-long friends through this website :)
Me and my husband are both looking forward to seeing you guys!
PHILOSOPHY
No matter when you feel depressed, just look up the blue sky over your head!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I used to accept Couchsurfers at my living place.
But now it's hard to welcome people at our home, because me and my husband are both busy with work.
So I prefer to meet up with people for coffee or dinner.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had good time with all of guys I met. Some of them are friends keeping in touch with me. There is nothing to complain.
Interests
I like showing people around Osaka. Osaka has a histrical culture as this city developed with many marchants. So people are more friendly and talkative compared to other districts in Japan. I like this city, and that's the reason why I want to show this city to tourists.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Actually I started traveling after 23 years old. My life was opened since then.
I had a lot of parties and drunk memories with my friends worldwide, and there are lot of experiences to write.
All the memories are just amazing and I can not choose one! :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I used to be a teacher at a private school. So I can teach Japanese if you want.
