ABOUT ME

I'm a 28 year old high school English teacher living in the small city of Buzen, in Fukuoka Prefecture. In my free time I read new Japanese poetry, make watercolor pictures with carved potatoes, oh and I like to dance !

PHILOSOPHY

Compassion everywhere always
Sometimes certainly dissolves into joy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There is not too much to do where I live, and I don't have a car. I can definitely put up travelers passing through though. I really like hosting people. I can offer you a comfortable place to stay, and good company.

I'm a member of an English conversation group called Naks that meets every Wednesday evening in Nakatsu, Oita Prefecture. If you stay with me through Wednesday, please join Naks. Furthermore, I attend an event or two just about every weekend. If you stay with me, we'll find something to do for sure !

Music, Movies, and Books

I've seen the movie The Graduate more times than I've seen anything else. I'm interested in mythology, allegory and anything that is written with poetry. The Narnia books fit that description. My favorite writer is probably Tove Jansson.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The annual November first Kitahara Hakushu Festival in Yanagawa, Fukuoka stands out as the most beautiful thing i have ever seen.
