Hi, everyone! Ohayo! My name is Marianne and I am from the Philippines. I am a single mom with two sons who are both teenagers now. Last year, in 2002, I started working as an English preschool teacher here in Tokyo. My kids are still in Manila and I am still hoping and working on getting them here.

I am a newbie traveller that would really appreciate your help as a host. I'm cheerful, love outdoors and adventurous. I enjoy trying out new food and experiences. I can be quiet if you need your own space but I also enjoy and appreciate your company if you have time. My experience in Australia was really memorable and thanks to Couchsurfing and Host a Sister, I was able to gain friends and memories I will treasure forever!

If you have questions, please drop me a note! Thank you!
