I'm an English teacher in Kyoto, live with my husband and a son born in 2017. Would love to meet up with travellers on weekend. Message me when you are my home town :). =========================== Started couchsurfing in 2015, I’ve been traveling so much last few years, met a lot of amazing people from the world! Also love meeting up with the travelers in my home town. Meeting in Kyoto then visiting your hometown or vice versa is always exciting!! I used to travel and do couchsurfing solo but now all of my family enjoy meeting with the travelers from the world. I like walking, hiking, visiting some events, famous spots. Also love inviting people for dinner and having a nice conversation together.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
To meet people from the world who have energies and inspirations. I would love them to inspire me, working at a Japanese local school which has been no change since 50 years ago.
