✴︎Hi! I’m AO(ｱｦ) originally from Japan but a traveler at heart✴︎. After few years of exploring in different countries/ places around my own, I’ve realized that what I love most is meeting people, sharing stories, and being part of communities, even if just for a short while.

I love nature, arts, music, festivals, and diy culture basically, also enjoy dancing, photography (still learning!), sometimes cooking/ poring coffee or tea , and
— most of all — connecting through deep or silly conversations!⭐︎
I love to share my stories and love to hear stories on someone’s life experiences! It always makes me new realizing and open more my mind.

Right now, I started to traveling around Europe for few months, hoping to explore around, join the festivals, visit inspiring people/ projects, and maybe volunteer along the way. I also love meeting locals and experiencing daily life in each place.;)
One of my dreams is to one day welcome travelers I’ve met on the road to my own home in the future… :)
I have confidence to show some unique/ nice in Japan⭐︎

❄️winter 2026 update ❄️↓
I’m living in Hakuba for the winter season. I have a small private apartment and can host travelers who are easygoing and open-minded.

The space is simple and small (under the roof), with shower & kitchen.
I can offer a sleeping bag, but please don’t expect luxury;)

Perfect for people who value connection, mountain life, and sharing time rather than comfort.
Let’s enjoy skiing/snowboarding and partying in japnese snow mountain life:)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I believe in human connection beyond borders. Couchsurfing is a beautiful way to meet locals, learn different ways of living, and share kindness and experiences. I’m not just looking for a free place to stay
I love exchanging culture, cooking together, going for a walk, or just chatting over coffee or tea or wine. :)
