🌺🇯🇵For those who are looking for a host in Okinawa:

I am not currently accepting CSers at my place... Sorry!
(I am extremely busy with my next trip coming up🤯)
But if our schedule works, I would be happy to be your free Okinawa guide!
I may be available on weekends after late May.

👩🏽About me:

I used CS quite a bit as a host and surfer in 2016-17, but then I haven't used it for many years due to living in a company dorm, the Covid pandemic, etc.

My life has changed a lot in the last 6-7 years (as I'm sure yours has too).

2016:
Worked for six months at a hotel on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, then returned to my hometown Kyushu

2017:
Realized I liked Okinawa better than my hometown and started living on the main island of Okinawa

2018:
Moved to Australia on a working holiday visa (But I ended up coming back to Okinawa just after 3 months.... I missed Okinawa so much haha)

2019:
Started dating my boyfriend Hikaru

2020-2021:
Blank period due to Covid pandemic (Hard time to even remember...)

2022:
Started living with Hikaru and adopted a foster dog Marron

2023:
Resumed international travel after 3 years
(Visited India, Vietnam, Taiwan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan)

2024:
I look forward to meeting you in Okinawa or somewhere in the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna do something for travelers who visit Okinawa, because I have been helped by many people while traveling abroad :)
