I am Akiko. Previously, I have been a professional photographer and a Japanese painter. I have also worked as a volunteer in a care home for people with disabilities in the UK. I joined international meet-up events there and found them interesting!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I want to talk with people from other countries to develop my knowledge of English, geography, and history. Also, it's good to know the different perspective about Japan.

兴趣

I have a project of taking portraits. If you are interested in modeling or want a memorial photo in Kyoto, please message me. It's for free, but I might use your photo on my blog or future exhibition.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've been organizing a Meetup event in Kyoto every Saturday for more than two years. I love this small community which is for Kyoto locals, tourists, international students, office workers, non-Japanese and Japanese. It's really great talking with people from all around the world.
