About Me

CURRENT MISSION
☆Enrich my life by meeting nice people☆
☆As my kids have grown up, I have to edit our profile.☆
ABOUT US
We are a family of four without any pets living in a historical place, Nara Japan. (Our city, Kashihara is the very first capital of Japan, located approx. 35-50min away from Nara city by train. It depends on which train you take./approx. 40 min-drive to Nara Park)

My son is living in the U.S. to study abroad till the end of 2022, so currently, 3 of us are living together.
My husband loves cooking, playing games, and watching Netflix and TikTok.
When he's home, he chills on the couch.
My daughter is 21. She teaches English online.
She loves music, dancing, driving...most importantly, she loves to EAT!! Ha-ha :)
I'm very easy to get along with most people. I have more free time after the pandemic, so
I'd love to spend time with the CSers, exploring, chitchatting, cooking together.

We are very looking forward to meeting nice travelers from all over the world and having fun learning new things!

PHILOSOPHY
I believe that it's important for me to appreciate whatever I'm given, whomever I'm meant to meet.
My favorite proverb is "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
One of the visitors who stayed with us from another homestay program introduced me to this amazing site!

We have enough experiences of hosting/surfing to say we enjoy CS!
We've hosted over 150 visitors includes CSers and others from other home stay programs.
I also have surfed with my kids at several families in Australia.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I like any kinds of music, but just don't have enough time to enjoy listening to music lately.
We usually play my daughter's favorite songs in our car.
I love Korean soap operas.
My husband enjoys watching western movies especially action movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things I've seen or done...
Ummmm, I have taken an operation because of a mosquito bite!!
The doctor was even surprised with seeing how the blood was spraying out from the bite!!

Teach, Learn, Share

My kids and I speak English fairy well (especially my daughter does),
so we would like to have an opportunity that they can learn something new from the visitors in English.
EX) They had opportunities such as "learning how to play some musical instruments", "learning how to make foreign cuisine" and "magic tricks" and so on when they were growing.

And I'm also interested in exchage students- exchanging our children for learning languages someday. So if you are native English speaker and want to learn Japanese would perfect for doing that with us.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would be happy to make some Japanese food if I can get ingredients.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Bahamas, Canada, Guam, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, United States
