CURRENT MISSION

I’m taking a 2-week holiday in Japan on my own. I’m starting in Tokyo and then open to suggestions to see the rest of the country! I currently study business and law in the US and will work as a lawyer after graduation. I’ve loved my Couchsurfing experience and hope to continue it in Japan :)

ABOUT ME

I miss solo traveling and hope to have an unforgettable time in Japan.I'm a bit of an introvert, but that also makes me a great listener and travel companion! My favorite parts of exploring a new area are meeting new people, tasting new food and wandering around whatever interesting archaeological site that is nearby. I love history and am looking to explore a completely different area for me.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is made for adventure

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to make some great connections with my hosts and learn more about each place vs just what's in a tour book. I used Couchsurfing several years ago while studying abroad in Copenhagen and also traveling in East Africa and had some amazing times! My hosts were more memorable than the sites I saw. I also couchsurfed through Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran.
