Hola, my name is Akemy with “Y”. I'm Peruvian living in Japan for over 10 years.
Love meeting people from different cultures and sharing some of my experiences living in Japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am living in a foreign country, I know how difficult it could be so I am using couchsurfing as an alternative to meet new people.
CS helps me to meet local people in my trips, hence I can understand deep the culture of the places I'm visiting.
Staying with someone who lives in a different country is very interesting as well because it gives me an understanding on how foreigners adapt to their new home and learn the differences between them and the locals.

Interests

I love singing, if you stay with me you'll notice. I'm always singing! in the shower, while cooking, any time.
I am huge metal fan, so whenever there is a metal show Im always there :)
Of course travelling, even though I dont do it so much because of my busy schedule. however, every time I have some time off I try to take a short trip.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music! thrash metal, progressive metal, death metal, black metal, viking metal, speed metal, power metal, symphonic metal and more :P Bands like borknagar, kreator, symphony x, hammerfall, kamelot, slayer, devin townsand, dimmu borgir, emperor, pantera, sabaton, iron maiden, and many more
Like Stephen King's books and movies. I'm into horror movies but unfortunately I haven't seen any good horror movies lately. Besides horror, I love the lord of the rings! Watched it so many times that I kinda know all the dialogues in Spanish and English :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played in some heavy metal bands
Recorded my voice for the intro of a song for a Dutch band,
3 days pilgrimage in Shikoku-Japan
Organized some metal shows in Kyoto which gave me the opportunity to meet many awesome bands from Japan and abroad.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you some Spanish and Japanese.
I used to sing in some metal bands, if you want to know how to growl, just let me know. I have no band at the moment nevertheless, Im always singing at karaoke
