CURRENT MISSION

To find the best Japanese pub and onsen in Hokkaido.

ABOUT ME

I will not be able to host for a while.

Been in Sapporo, Japan, for 25 + years, teaching English, etc. in a small, traditionally women's junior college here. Living in a two bedroom apartment in Maruyama, a slightly upscale neighborhood with lots of small shops and restaurants, 15 minutes by subway from the center of Sapporo, and a short walk to Maruyama Zoo and Hokkaido Shrine.

In the summer months (July - September) the view of the city and mountains from my rooftop is beautiful. Come and have a glass of wine and watch the sun set. ;-)

I love travelling, restaurants, pubs, micro-brews (beer and also Japanese sake) long walks, reading, meeting new people...

I've had great experiences as a host. Met so many interesting people. Looking forward to meeting more! Any age, singles, couples, kids OK. GLBT friendly. Smoking outside OK.

PHILOSOPHY

Wherever you go, there you are!
