CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

A Japanese female with a Australian spirit. Friendly, frank, and fair. Inquisitive minded.

Volunteer jobs at a World Heritage listed island in Australia and in North Shore suburbs, as well as at Manly Jazz Festival.

Yes, I love Jazz. I love James Morrison and many other great players.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short. Be happy!

Never trust someone who says 'Trust me!' all the time. :-P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To start off with, I would like to offer tour guide service to those travelers who like to visit Kawagoe, or some parts in Tokyo when I am available.

Kawagoe is like a little Kyoto in a sense, where you can visit many old temples and shrines and enjoy yummy Japanese food that locals eat! Many beautiful historic sites. I would call Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Harajuku my territories, too. :-)

Taking it slowly, I would like to contribute to CS a lot, and ultimately be an ambassador and become a core member of the local community within CS. I enjoy co-ordinating efforts within a team of people.

I hope I can assist with interpreting needs when I am available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just signed up on CouchSurfing. Due to time restriction, I cannot really travel at the moment, but I would like to start small... by offering quality tour guiding in and around Tokyo to those who are interested. Considering couch offer, but maybe a bit later.

Interests

Focused on reducing - reducing the amount I eat and drink, and consequently weight. Reading lots of books (non-fiction and business-related mainly). Self-teaching on Buddhism and related arts and architectures. Frequent museum goer. Love to cook for someone else!
