John is a High School PE teacher and Mee-Hee is a High School English Literature teacher. We are both working as teachers at an international school in Kobe, Japan. We have a 2-year-old daughter who already has a few countries under the belt.

We enjoy travelling on a budget, exploring off the beaten path and of course meeting new people.

We have a spare bed/ futon area and have the potential to provide transport.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Really enjoy traveling, and thought I could pay some love forward.

I value being invited into people's lives and homes when traveling, rather than simply meeting others over a cash register.
