Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My cousin told me CS recently. In Japan, not so much people knows this revolutionary human peaceful tourism network. It is a bit shameful I have to admit avarage Japanese' English skill is not so good. That is why CS is not known well in Japan. I think I can be a PR girl for my Japanese friends who would be interested in this revolution.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have just joined CS. so, no, never. but I am trying to now for traveling Israel this spring.

Movies. recently I watched "Blood Diamond"(again), "Hotel Rwanda" is one of my best. Oh! don't forget Roman Holiday...Ms.Hepburn is my idle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The long sea shore after tsunami.
one of my friends house was washed away completely.
my raised town(lived there until 10 years old) was polluted by nucleus.
but strong people, especially the wise, the old, stood up again and give me and my students hugs and big smiles. What an amazing scene of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can be a guide if you come to Tokyo or want to visit Tohoku district.
I visited north east Tohoku (twice) after that tsunami, and have volunteered since then. i have a lot of acquaintances(like politicians, teachers, entrepreneurs, fishermen, people who lost their family still live in temporary dwellings in that area etc.)
You can learn a lot of things over their, and it would be very interesting (sometimes fun) experience that you cannot forget till you die.
