❗️Currently living in Japan 🌍

To be honest, I can’t describe myself as a super energetic, always smiling, non-stop chattering person as a lot of people on here can. There is no point in advertising myself as a person I am not. Yet I am still an extremely adventurous person, unafraid to try new things, indulge in foreign foods, and always stay optimistic. I would describe myself as an open-minded individual with a very chill go with the flow mentality. I can not promise to be your best-hosted guest or most interesting, but I am happy to be a sincere, honest friend and open to talk about anything, literally anything, and hopefully create memories we can both carry with us.

Currently, I'm in Japan I moved here in February 2024. My goal is to stay 2 years to save money and travel with my girlfriend. I'm also studying Psychology at University and hope to complete my degree over the next 2 years while working full-time. After finishing my degree and work contract the regions I would like to travel to are South/East/West Africa and Southeast Asia. I plan to travel for a couple of years starting in 2026 around April or so. Feel free to ask me anything!

I prefer to use this app mainly for hangouts and to host others myself due to some bad host experiences, but I am still open to staying with others if the connection is there.

I'll be happy to hear about your travel experiences and exchange my own stories if you'd be interested to hear.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love experiencing and learning about different cultures and that’s why I prefer to stay in countries I travel to a bit longer so I can really dive into the lifestyle.

I'll politely welcome any conversation no matter how long, how short, or how crazy it may sound. To me a story is knowledge in one way or another and everyone I've met to this day has been able to teach me something.

I definitely prefer hosting over being hosted due to some negative experiences, but I still enjoy connecting with locals, for me Couchsurfing is a way to make lifelong friends and experience the culture of others, who want to share that culture.

Countries I’ve Lived In
