About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find and enjoy our likeness and differences

2016 August, I go back to host family volunteer group and have a home stay for one month. During it, I can't host any CouchSurfer.
I will come back to CS after the hosting.

ABOUT ME

I think myself a bit shy, but my friends say "No!". Perhaps because I am willing to have conversation with anyone.
Whenever my assumption get revised by different perspective,I'm very impressed. I like such a moment. That's why I like to meet people having different perspective. Also I like to find similarity between them and us.

Besides, I like inviting people to my place and cooking for them. That's the best way for me to make friends.

By the way, my husband, Toshiaki, is really shy, not conversational. He understands some English, but hardly speaks.
Yes, even in Japanese, speaking is my job!

2016 April, my daughter, Mizuki, came back to Kanazawa from Kobe, where she spent her university days. She loves traveling and is a CouchSurfer also. Her profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/mizukiyamazaki

I'm a physical therapist. I work Tuesday to Friday. Other than my job, I have some activities, as a church member, as an exercise instructor, as a member of women's group and so on.
My interest always spreads out. Yet, I don't like being too busy. I rather like spending quiet time in my house... Sometimes, it's difficult to keep a good balance of my activity and my private time.

PHILOSOPHY

trust my life to God, at least I want to do so as a christian.
