Overview
About Me
Hello there, I'm Ash, originally from Sri Lanka now living in New Zealand. I'm a Network Engineer by profession at the University of Auckland! I've recently started solo traveling and I'm loving every moment of it. My first trip was to Tokyo, Japan, in 2023, and I instantly fell in love with the culture, especially anime and manga. Now, I'm eager to explore more of Japan, from its food to its travel hotspots, and I can't wait to make new friends along the way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing isn't just about finding a place to crash; it's about connecting with like-minded individuals and locals eager to share their experiences. For me, it's a gateway to cultural immersion and forging meaningful connections. Whether it's swapping travel stories, experiencing daily life together, or simply exploring the city hand in hand, Couchsurfing offers a unique platform to make new friends and learn the local language along the way.
