CURRENT MISSION

To be the high priestess of tinsel.

ABOUT ME

Half Japanese, half white, grew up in Hawaii, loves animals, sleeps too much, probably talks too much, dances while doing dishes, and has been wearing glasses since '88.

I have a broad sense of humor, so I'm easily entertained, hard to offend, and think way too many things are amusing.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in having fun. Lots of it. Trying new things. Tolerance, peace, love, all that good stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just hosted my first surfer!!!! Sean was AMAZING, and I can't wait to meet more people!!!!
