ABOUT ME

Hi. This profile is set up under "my" name Malia, but really Malia doesn't come without "Max."

We're a couple. We met at the university 5 years ago and haven't been separated since. We've been married 3 years.

Malia is from Oregon, USA and Max is from Seoul, Korea. We're living and teaching near Nagoya, Japan now.

We work hard and spend a lot of time just chilling and relaxing and really love eating and cooking great food.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind to others. Be positive. Live simply and pure.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

* make friends in my area (Aichi, Gifu)
* meet people on Sundays or Mondays and travel around the area
* possible travel in the future
* possible hosting based on your recommendations

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far. I have hosted exchange students when I was a student, and been an exchange student myself. I know the anxiety and the excitement from both sides.

Intereses

We like movies, nature, walking, exploring, riding trains, cooking, learning languages (French, Japanese, Korean, English), gardening (can't do much of it in our apartment), animals, and hot springs

Música, películas y libros

Wide range of interests.
Currently appreciating the Wonder Years, I love Lucy, Pan Am, Parenthood, Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy... the list goes on...

Interested in evironmental activism, nutrition, natural and Eastern medicine so I usually read books on that subject. Max is interested in alternative architecture.
