Hello to my future friends! I'm from southern California and have been traveling the world since I was born. When my parents moved to the U.S. from Japan, we had a chance to move and travel a lot. My father was a Buddhist leader and helped open a few of the first SGI Buddhist community centers in the U.S., the first one being in Memphis, Tennessee. Then when I got older, I wanted to explore other countries and had wonderful opportunities to experience Northern France, Austria, Nepal, Abu Dhabi, Turkey, Germany, Romania (to name some), and ended up living in Italy for a few years and now planning to explore the U.K.
A bit more about me. I have a culinary arts degree and a nursing degree. I worked as a hospice nurse for a few years before finding naturopathy. I am currently studying animal communication/healing, crystals, tarot cards, and Kabbalah. I've created my own style of healing similar to Quantum touch and Reiki, so I'm happy to arrange healing sessions with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I enjoy traveling and making good lifelong friends where we can learn from each other and have good laughs and fun. I am also on TrustedHousesitters.com and have been using that more since I can also practice my animal healing with the animals I take care of while I housesit. I'm an excellent house mate since I'm very clean, responsible and treat the place as if my own. I'm also great with plants. =)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book at the moment is Women Who Run With the Wolves.
My favorite song is Return to Innocence by Enigma. I also enjoy listening, singing and dancing to music with Native american drums and singing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done is restoring my sister's dog back to health and was near death a few years ago. Buddy is now 18 years old.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning tarot cards so I am enjoying giving readings to whoever is interested just to build more experience. Also, I can give energy healing. I have a culinary arts degree so I can teach how to cook and clean up after. ;)

I enjoy learning pretty much anything since I have an open mind and heart.
