I work at a local beer pub. Stop by Taproom Brew Classic and tell me about your travels!

I live with my partner Koshi and our cat Leo.

We like all things nature based. In the Spring, Summer, and Fall we often go camping. In the winter we snowshoe. I grow flowers, food, and forage for various seasonal things.

We like to explore Kanazawa and the surrounding areas. We go to restaurants more than we should! Occasionally we go to bars, but we prefer to drink at home. Koshi is well versed in nihon-shu ("sake").

While Koshi and Leo are on the quiet side, I am very outgoing. Both of us are good-humored and love to laugh.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I come from a family of travelers. Before it was called couch surfing, people were sleeping on my couch. I have also slept in a lot of kind strangers' homes.

I was raised understanding the benefits of sharing experiences. To have a guest or be a guest in a strangers' home is a very intimate experience. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet new people and learn new ways.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Music: I love almost all music. I support community radio. I am always finding great new music as well as old goodies. I like music with a positive, love-based message.

Movies: I don't watch too many movies nor TV. If I do, it is usually some coming-of-age garbage!

Books: I read books of fiction in place of watching TV. I also read biographies usually about rock &roll stars. I'm starting to get into history.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I worked full time as a migratory beekeeper for over 10 years.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I want to share thoughts about living/life. I want to learn better ways of being. I want to teach anything I might know.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can offer engaging conversations and laughs over food and drinks (time permitting).
Of course, like any good house guest, I will bring a small gift to show my appreciation for you letting me stay.
