About Me

CURRENT MISSION
☆Enrich my life by meeting nice people☆

☆ABOUT US☆
We are a family of four without any pets living in a historical place, Kashihara, Nara Japan. (Our city is the very first capital of Japan, located approx. 35-50min away from Nara city by train.
-35 mins from Unebi Station to Nara Station by JR train
-37〜50mins from Yamato Yagi Station to Kintetsu Nara Station by Kintetsu train
-Approx. 50 min-drive to Nara Park

Currently both of my daughter and son are living with us.
My husband is the one who cooks when he is home, loves playing games, and watching Netflix and TikTok.
When he's home, he chills on the couch or the floor because whenever he goes to work, he works for 24 hours.

My daughter is 23.
She teaches English online.
She loves music, dancing, driving...most importantly, she loves to EAT!! Ha-ha :)

My son is a year younger than her.
They get along well.
He is a senior in college, so he’s been busy with school assignments, essay writing to graduate, and looking for a job etc.

I consider myself an extrovert, I am easy to get along with most of the people.

I have more free time than before so
I'd love to spend some time with the CSers, chitchatting, cooking, and even exploring if my schedule fits yours.

We are very looking forward to meeting nice travelers from all over the world and having fun learning new things!

PHILOSOPHY
I believe that it's important for me to appreciate whatever I'm given, whomever I'm meant to meet.
My favorite proverb is "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

Music, Movies, and Books

I like any kinds of music, but just don't have enough time to enjoy listening to music lately.
We usually play my daughter's favorite songs when we drive.
I love watching Korean soap operas.
My husband enjoys watching western movies especially action movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things I've seen or done...
Ummmm, I have taken an operation because of a mosquito bite!!
The doctor was even surprised with seeing how the blood was spraying out from the bite!!

Teach, Learn, Share

We all speak English fairy well except my husband (especially my daughter does),
so we would love to share various things, we can learn something new from you and vice versa.

My daughter and I can communicate in Korean as well. She also has been learning Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to make some Japanese food if I can get ingredients.
I also will help you with the house cleaning.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Bahamas, Canada, Guam, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, United States
