Hello! I'm Eiko :)

I'm a 25 years old girl, originally from Tokyo, and now teaching Japanese in Amsterdam!

I'm friendly and very calm.
I love art, music, dancing, watching movies, playing the piano or ukulele, reading and going to the nature or cultural places :)
It's a pleasure to meet you all! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My ultimate purpose is to be a giver, like the ocean.

As I understand that being a giver is one of the hardest things that a human being can ever try, not only because it's almost what Jesus and Buddha did, but because it needs the process to understand the meaning of receiving...

Couchsurfing is the greatest idea and practice for me to work in this process :)

I'd love to make new friends and broaden my perspectives, to have more chances to appreciate what I've been given and love the lives around me more deeply.

Now I'm temporally receiving your generosity, but I'm on my way to make it double or triple or even more to give to you when I get the chances :)

Interests

learning languages
