About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet more people worldwide

ABOUT ME

I am a person who would, most of the time, prefer to spend time with others rather than be alone. However, when traveling, I can and do travel alone most of the time since I prefer to move about at my own pace. I have a dry wit and have been told my sense of humor is on the sarcastic side.

I like to do things to please people like cook for them and give gifts.

PHILOSOPHY

I live by the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I also believe that if what you do in life doesn't hurt others, then it is ok do to what you want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only CouchSurfed once (for more than 3 months!) but have hosted a few CouchSurfers.

Interests

I like travelling, cooking, photography, music, movies, gardening and walking. I am living Japan for the third time in my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to movies, I prefer comedies, love stories, mysteries and suspense. As for music, I love Jazz more than anything else, though I can listen to most music except rap, techno, hip-hop and country

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Don't know if this would qualify as amazing to others but my previous 3+ years of living in Japan was a fantastic experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fully fluent in Japanese and would relish the opportunity to teach it to anyone who is serious about learning.

Countries I’ve Visited
