Hi. I grew up in Yamaguchi near Hiroshima where I was born.
Currently I'm in Japan, usually live in Australia.
I am cheerful, polite and also easygoing.

Pleasure to meet people, share our cultures and experience.
I love that because I find it interesting and opens my eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've never had Couchsurfing experience before this travel.
When I traveled Europe and met people last time,
I found so much fun to exchange our culture.
Couchsurfing is the one of way to do, I heard.

I respect their culture and simply keen to learn it more! :-)

Interests

Traveling is always great for me even though I have had bad experience.
It simply gives me motivation for anything good and a chance to meet beautiful-mind people I believe.

I love nature like stream, sea and forests as well as beautiful villages, cities, remains of ancient cities, castles.

I learned a ballet dance when I was small (well I am still small on height even among Japanese. ;-)). Since then I stretch and do yoga to keep my body pilant.

Healthy, moderne and creating cooked food are my favorite. (Like Master chef..?) as well as traditional ones.

Good red wines and sparkling wines give me a smile. I don't drink a lot, just moderate.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies.
I like action, comedy, SF and thriller.
The last one I enjoyed was "SPY"made in 2015 starring Melissa McCarthy. It was nice comedy action movie I thought. ;-)
I watch TV series Game of Thrones.

For the music, I like classical music, jazz, pop, french old chansons, and sound track music from films. I also like Irish and scottish folk music.

I like relaxing music :) for example
"13 Jours En France", "Fly Me to the Moon", "Moon River", "She", "Sous le ciel de Paris", "Theme from Love Story", "What a Wonderful World"

Books.
I mostly read many Japanese mystery and other novels.
When it comes to the western writer, I like "The Da Vinci Code".
Again, if you have your favorite books, I'd like to know. That may open my eyes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My body is supple so that I bend backward and touch ground.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lived mostly in 2 countries, Japan and Australia.
I'm happy to exchange these experience and cook Japanese food.
Of course I can teach Japanese Language. :-) and cultures
especially practical ones you may need to know. ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm flexible for mind and keen to learn the culture.
More than happy to talk about our cultures, experience and language exchange over a cup of coffee, wine or anything we like. ;-)
