I am a researcher (holder of a Ph）. I am a cultural anthropologist despite my shyness.

Cooking is not my forte.
However, I am trying various things with cooking equipment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am happy to be of service to someone else.
It has always been difficult for me to find a family that would allow me to do anthropological research.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's been 20 years since I graduated and I'm still on a long-term cultural anthropological survey!
However, I am having a hard time because I chose that path.
But I don't mind too much because I enjoy life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am busy raising my children and studying, so I don't think I will be able to walk outside with you guys much. I may at least take a walk around the neighborhood. Most of the time, I make a simple meal and wait for you. If you want to eat tempura or sushi, you can go out and have it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am shy. I have almost no food likes and dislikes.
