Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to travel on a budget and meet new, interesting people! Specifically, I'm in Japan for a month (August) before going back to school in the US and would love to explore many new places, practice my photography, and learn about cultures surrounding Japanese community design/public art.

Interests

Started taking film photos a year ago and very recently bought a new digital camera in Tokyo. I look forward to taking portraits in Japan!
