Hei!
I'm Atsuko,also called Ako.
I'm from Japan, but now I'm studying in Finland.

I moved out of Fukushima(north Japan) when I was 18
and then I'd lived in Tokyo for almost 3 years for the University.

My goal is to be a person who can work for the development of Fukushima. :D

I really like to have a nice time with anyone anytime,
but even in Japanese, I prefer being a good listener :D
When people talk about their life, thought, interests, everything,,,
nothing makes me happier than that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I major in "Area Studies" at my home University.
Meeting new people and understanding the culture there by the native are my interests and also very important parts of my field work :-)
and I think CS is a big chance to have such opportunities.
