The purpose of our around world trip is not just sightseeing but connecting with local people and sharing your own values each other. I believe Couch surfing is one of the best ways.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share Japanese cultures and language if you are interested. I'm sure you would love Japanese meals we make also. We brought some Japanese seasonings so that you can try some if you let us use your kitchen.
