Nice to meet you.
I'm AKIKO from Japan.
You can call me "AKI".

Thank you for coming to my page!

I am...
easy-going, open-minds and sociable person.
I'm not complicated, very very simple:)

On 2013-2014, I was on long journey for a year and half,
visited Asia, Middle east, Europe and Africa.
During my journey, I got a lot of help by local people and other travelers,
so I was really impressed!
That journey and people who met me changed my life a lot!

Now, I live in Japan,
It's my turn to host you like all of my host did.
I will be happy to assist whoever needs my help.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I would like to have many friends all over the world
to sherering our experiences, culture and more...!

I think traveling is not only visiting tourist places and resort.
I want to talk with local to know how local people living, working, how they feeling, thinking...
That's is my reason.

I have experienced just as a surfer.
Each hosts made my trip special and memorable!

If you visit my place, I can show my hospitality.
(We call hospitality "O.MO.TE.NA.SHI" in Japanese.
It's famous word in Japan and it's our spirits.)

Exploring the world... for Life will be beautiful!!!
