I was born in Nagasaki, Japan. I finished most of education there and worked a few years before I left for Sydney where I spent my first year as a working holiday maker. Soon after, I met my husband in Sydney and had stayed in Sydney till 2005. I am now going backward and forward between Sydney and Japan. I graduated University of Technology Sydney in 1992 and became a registered nurse. I have worked in a couple of hospital in Sydney until 2005 mainly in surgical ward. I have 2 children who studies in universities.

My latest hobby is music. I have been playing rock and blues drum since 2013. I can also play keyboard a little bit. I would like to play jazz in future. I am interested in doing music jam if I have chance while overseas. I also like art. I used to oil painting when I was in high school. I recently started to feel like painting again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think being a couchsurfer is a very good way to get to know local peoplel and make friend with them.
My idea of travelling is not just about visiting scenic view and historical building.
I would enjoy talking with local people as well as other tourists to share experience and information about the places where I am staying.
I feel it is very interesting to know how people in different country think and live. It opens up my eye and makes my life more fun.
