.hello ! I’m an English teacher living in rural Japan ! I love languages, dancing , zumba , eating new foods , nature, hot weather , running , swimming, hiking and snowboarding . I'm consistently fighting the travel bug .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find traveling more rewarding and meaningful when I can see a country / through the everyday life of a local . If I'm hosting , I want to relive the excitement of travel vicariously through your stay here :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English , how to moonwalk/salsa/hula , make you some nice guacamole ...etc We can interchange good reads and foods and music and chat :). Also, if you stay with me in America I can provide a total immersion into American southern culture (the middling somewhat liberal "cities", the western NC hillbilly mountain culture, and the beautiful conservative small towns and beaches).
