CURRENT MISSION

to get lost less while walking and more while talking

ABOUT ME

After five years living away from the islands (Providence for four years and Morocco for one) I'm back and ready to relearn Oahu.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One person I couchsurfed three years ago gave me the most amazing hunk of cheese from the farm he was working at. We spend the last six months living together in a food co-op in Providence!

Interests

Learning your favorite recipe and teaching you mine (ingredients permitting--I cook mostly Japanese and Middle Eastern food)

Cooperative, communal living and eating-- I've been involved with a co-op in Providence, RI for the past four years, and I'd love to see or hear about other models of cooperative living, eating, or working.

• cooking
• cheese
• coffee

• magic

Music, Movies, and Books

How did I just discover graphic novels? I'm still biased against the ones that look like comic books though. Huge fan of Habibi, Fun Home, Persepolis.

I don't watch many movies or tv shows, though Twin Peaks is incredible and all that keeps me from planning a Twin Peaks themed costume party is the inability to decide on the best character.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two years ago I ran into the other Mari Miyoshi in the streets of the East Village, New York City. I recognized her from friending her on facebook years before (embarassing) and we had coffee!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can begin to teach you Arabic (I've been studying for the past four years)

I can teach you to float or to swim the butterfly, depending on where you're at.

I'm looking to learn some magic tricks.

Israel, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syrian Arab Republic
