CURRENT MISSION

To climb all the highest mountains in the world!

ABOUT ME

I have just finished two years of living in Japan, and I miss it like crazy and only want to speak Japanese and eat Japanese food. However, all good things come to an end and I am now back in the Toon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed in Austria, France and China and in all three of those countries our hosts were incredible. I therefore want to offer the same kind of generosity and help people feel at home wherever I am. Whilst I was living in France for a few months I looked after people a few people aswell.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only surfed up until now, in China and Austria, but every host has been incredible.
