I'm an English teacher in Nagoya, Japan. I've lived in Japan for about 3 years (Nagoya 2 years, Osaka 1 year). You can usually find me either watching a cooking show or on my way to the beach. I'm conversational in Japanese (N3) and am trying to brush up on my (very limited) Spanish before visiting Spain!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed 5 years ago in Korea and really enjoyed it. I hope to meet more great people traveling in Europe this summer! I also would like to start hosting at my apartment in Nagoya, and make new friends. Even though Nagoya isn't a major tourist destination here in Japan, it's very conveniently located in the middle of the country and I can recommend a lot of places to visit while here. :)

兴趣

I enjoy dancing, studying Japanese, gardening, cooking, and traveling. I'm always down to make new friends!

教，学，和分享

**I will be on holiday in Europe from July 18th-August 20th**

I can teach you a little Japanese, as well as introduce you to my friends and show you a fun time in Nagoya! I work most weekdays, but weekends I'm usually available to meet up or show you around. I can even accompany you on a small day trip to a nearby city if my schedule permits! Just let me know what you want to do in advance.

**I teach English for a living, and therefore will not meet up just to practice English. I have no problem showing you around Nagoya or meeting new friends but please do not contact me solely for the purpose of learning English. I know this sounds a bit harsh but when I receive a message that says "please teach me english!" it sounds very impersonal and I did not join couchsurfing to give free English lessons.

私も日本語の練習をしたいですが、本業が英語講師なので無料でレッスンをする事は出来ません。ですので、英語を習いたいだけの方の連絡はお断りします。**
