CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am an English teacher at primary school living in Japan for 14 years.
I like cycling and playing the guitar.

I live alone in an apartment in North Osaka Japan. The area I live in is called Ishibashi which is on the Hankyu railway line 20 mins north of Umeda (North area of Osaka city). Ishibashi station is about 5 mins away on foot from my home.

I have a spare room which I am willing to let people stay in for free. There are futons in there to sleep on, it should be pretty comfortable.

I don't have pets and don't smoke but people can smoke outside on the balcony if they want to.

I work so it's almost impossible for me to show people around. I usually go to bed around 11pm on weekdays and get up at 6:30am so I ask guests to be quiet between these hours.

Please arrive at my place by 9pm on your first day or it may not be possible for me to accept your request.

I can host you for up to a few nights.

****In your couch request, please include the following information.****
1. If you can you arrive before 9pm at my place.
2. If you can teach me how to cook something (preferably from your home country).
3. If there is more than one person, please tell me about the other person.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
