About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
To host women in my home located in Chibana not Naha on weekend days.

Women only.
Weekends only.
One hour north of Naha.

PLEASE make note of this before sending a request. Thank you. I may not be able to show around but you will have a clean comfortable place to stay at night. Please make your own arrangements to arrive and leave my home. I do not allow people to stay in my home while we are not home. So mostly a place to sleep or if we have time, hang out.

To learn and share with others.

To travel more and afford an opportunity for others to do the same.

ABOUT ME

I am an elementary school teacher. I have taught adults and children for the last 25 years. I have recently come to a place in my life where I value experiences over things,. I enjoy traveling more and more. I was more career oriented and a home body. Then I got the opportunity to travel to Spain a few summers ago and the travel bug bit me.

I have two adult children and one teenager.

PHILOSOPHY

The Golden rule and accepting people where they are at!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently we live one hour north of Naha in Chibana, Okinawa Japan. I only host women in my home and preferably on weekends or holidays. I like to connect with others that value seeing the world by couch surfing and affording others the chance to come see my part of the world. I participate in and host local couchsurfing events.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy romantic comedies. I dance ballet folklorico. I enjoy listening to country music and Spanish songs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Spain and visited Madrid, Barcelona, Leon and the Canary Islands alone. This was a huge for a southern NM small town person. Also quite an accomplishment considering I went "away to college 45 miles away" LOL That is how small my world was and sometimes continues to be. However, I am currently living in Japan!

Teach, Learn, Share

To meet people that travel and have different experiences to share. Give my boys the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. I want to plant a seed that will encourage them to think big. I grew up with a small town mentality and don't want them to miss out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Life experiences.
