Hello, my name is Collin! I've been in Japan for about a year now. I currently live in Osaka and have been from August 2014. I love travel, sports, meeting new people, music...basically anything you'd want to talk about, I can talk about too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing was recommended by a friend who had very positive experiences through Central Europe. I didn't know if couch surfing was popular in the Asian-Pacific area, but to my pleasure it seems to be very popular, so I look forward to meeting new people on here!
