Hi, I’m Arina, a traveller from Japan!🇯🇵🇷🇺🇰🇷
Currently travelling in Europe🇩🇪🇫🇷🇬🇪to 🇷🇺

(So I’m not in Japan, but my room in Tokyo is empty so I could offer that you stay there cheaply, with my mom, still gonna be very close to CS experience (place-wise etc), so you wanna stay a bit more extended period of time in Tokyo etc, feel free to ask me about it! )

I offer what I can and I would like to learn about your culture and even language.

I’ve visited 26 countries, usually staying pretty long term(like aprx. 3 months in Romania, 1 month in Italy etc) and I’ve travelled close to 2 years, 1st time being Dec 2022 to Jan 2023 and 2nd time being Nov 2023 to May 2024, 3rd time (current trip) from Aug 2024

I graduated from high school and worked hard to make it happen!

More about myself..

My mom is half Japanese/ half Korean, my dad is Russian))
I am on a spiritual path, and I do not eat meat or fish🌱
I’m an endless traveller, like anyone else here☺️
Travelling and languages are absolutely my passions!
So I’m learning.. too many languages.. just to confuse my brain🤣 a polyglot “to be”. Lol
In my free time I like to draw and write stories:) I also like to dance, sing
I like to sew and I want to make more clothes.
I want to learn so many things:)
I’m very interested in natural way of life,
Spirituality, and tea 🍵 like a lot. Tea is very healing especially as in tea ceremony. I can talk about Japanese religions, spirituality, and tea, for hours.

I’m also a respectful person, about cultures, rules and about YOUR FEELINGS/opinions:) I belong to lgbtq community, I’m in a lovely, committed relationship with a Romanian girl🏳️‍🌈

I’m quite sensitive so I really do care about happiness around me.
I’m also very curious, like to explore everything that country or place has to offer.. I’m always hungry for knowledge:)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Travelling around the world is always my dream and my passion.. I want to communicate with locals, not just staying in the country as a tourist. I want to see things from the point of view of the local people:)

And I’m more than happy to do the same for people, offering safe space to sleep in and share my moments, my ideas and my abilities with different people, when I’m in Japan!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Achievements in language learning processes are all precious to me especially considering the fact I knew only Japanese growing up!
But also my adaptability to new environment is something I’m proud of, I try to learn about the country and its language when I’m travelling, I refuse to be just a “tourist”… :)

So I improved my Russian greatly over the past three years, Так что если вы говорите по-русски, и планируете приехать а Японию, было бы здорово пообщаться, может быть я смогу принимать вас у нас в гости- хотя это зависит от того, где я в том моменте хаха)) 🙏🏻

Sau putem vorbi în română! Am început să-l învăț acum doi ani, am călătorit prin România și Moldova și mi-a plăcut foarte, foarte mult, chiar și fără faptul ca am o iubită româncă! Oamenii, mâncarea, peisajul.. îmi plac și literaturii române, în special poezii lui Mihai Eminescu, și balada mioriță🤍🇷🇴🇲🇩

教，学，和分享

I can tell you a lot about Japan... any questions are welcome! I’d like to think with you and discuss. I can share any of my knowledge
And I’d love to hear about your ideas, your views on world and life and share mine:)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

About Japanese culture, religions/spirituality like Shintoism and Buddhism.
I can take care of children, I’d strive to share whatever that I can including my time, my thoughts, my abilities:)
