Hello I'm Akane from Japan.
I love travelling and have been to 56 countries so far. And I used to live in Melbourne, Australia for a year....
my personality is...friendly, curious, positive 😊

I'd like to make friends all over the world, bringing everyone together and enjoying different cultures and people.

I'd love to have a chat with people from other countries and share our opinions to explore the world.
I'm always up to grab some beers and make new friends 😃

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

My friends told me about Couchsurfing and the great experiences they had being part of it. I wanted to experience it myself! I'd like to get to know people from different cultures and backgrounds, and learn from their experiences.

I have done quite a lot of travelling myself, but now I want to gain a new perspective. I'd like to learn how to live like a local, from locals.

Also, I'd like to one day share Japanese culture and lifestyle with my fellow travellers :)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I have taken 2 cruises around the world for 3.5 months each visiting a total of 35 wonderful countries. It was a great experience and have amazing memories from those times.

When I travelled in Nepal I trekked for 5 days in the Himalayas. I was so impressed by the beauty of the nature and people living there.

I scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef. Seeing the underwater world I was amazed by the diversity and all the colours.

I lived and worked in Melbourne, Australia for 1 year. It was great to experience such a different culture from mine. Always full of art, music and beautiful cafes.

I climbed Mount Fuji - the tallest mountain in Japan. It was my first time climbing a mountain. Seeing the sunrise from up there was unforgettable.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I am very interested in photography so always happy to learn some tips.

My English and German are not perfect so would like to have the opportunity to practice more.

I'd love to learn how to cook all meals from all over the world !

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can teach how to prepare Japanese home meals, such as Teriyaki chicken or Miso soup. yummy!

I would be happy to teach the Japanese language and share stories about my culture.
