こんにちは！（＾_＾）ご興味をお持ちいただき、ありがとうございます。

私はカリフォルニア州サンタバーバラで生まれ、グアムと日本で育ちました。
両親はカリフォルニアのスペイン系、アメリカ人、そして日本人のルーツを持つ家系です。

東京では、オーダーメイドの英語・日本語レッスンを提供し、「食は身体の源」をテーマにした
健康セミナーや料理教室を開催していました。また、グルテンフリーのパン製造・販売も手がけ、
民泊ホストとしても活動していました。現在は大分に移住し、新たなスタートに向けて準備を進めています。

新しいことに挑戦したい、滞在を楽しみたいという意欲のある方を歓迎します。
プライバシーを尊重しつつ、ご自身の家のように大切に扱っていただけることを願っています。
柔軟性を持ち、気配りと思いやり、そして尊重の心を大切にしながら、
素晴らしい滞在となることを心より願っております。

I teach English and Japanese to children and offer traditional Japanese cooking classes using organic vegetables, spices, and gluten-free ingredients. Additionally, we have been hosting guests from all over the world in Tokyo. Now, we are excited to restart our hosting journey here in Oita.

Are you able to move around flexibly in our space? (＾ｰ^)
We warmly welcome those who are open to new experiences and eager to enjoy their stay. While we respect our guests' privacy, we also encourage them to treat our home as their own and leave it as they found it.
