Hello! I’m Chisato from Japan🇯🇵

In 2023, I left my sales career to embark on a long-dreamed-of backpacking world trip, which I am currently in the middle of. So far, I’ve traveled through countries in Asia and Africa, and I plan to visit parts of Europe and Central and South America next.

I consider myself a laid-back and easy going person and ready to get to know new things. Visiting famous tourist spots is fun, but I also want to experience daily life among the locals, not just as a passing tourist. I love experiencing different cultures, meeting new people, learning about the ethnic roots of communities, and exploring historical sites. And I'm keen to make more mates as I go along😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people too, learning new cultures. When I travel to a new place, i love to blend in and do the things the locals do. Am attracted to good energy. I think this app is the perfect opportunity for that.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot and am especially into books set in the countries that I am travelling in (both fiction and non-fiction), to learn about the history and culture

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share some of my travel experience and be inspired by the stories my hosts also have to offer from their travel stories!
