I was born and grew up in Japan. I wanted to broaden my view of the world, so went to a high school in Switzerland. I have been always fascinated by new culture I see, and now I can't stop going around and around and around!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet with new people. It's always fun, inspiring and striking when you talk and know about others.

Interests

Music: love to play any kind of music instrument, including guitar, ukulele, piano, drums, base, Koto (Japanese traditional music instrument).

Sports: love to play any kind of sports if it does not hurt others and me. :b My favorite sports are gymnastics, double dutch, snowboarding, basketball, and tennis.

And of course, Traveling!!
