**I am currently not able to host couchsurfers at my home in Osaka due to a family circumstance SORRY. But am happy to meet up and share about unique japanese culture**

Hello, you can call me as either Aileen or Ai (my Japanese name means "LOVE").

Independent solo traveler from Japan. Totally non smoker and drugs. Enjoy a drink :)

Was travelling in NZ from Jan 2017 to Apr 2018 - my first backpacking experience and it was amazing. I have seen many beautiful landscapes, people and cultures during my adventure.

Passionate about: yoga, music, travel, languages, cooking, organics, environmental sustainability, Japanese anime, design and good chats!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe communicating with local people is such a great opportunity to have a deep cultural exchange and learn more about myself too.
