About Me

Very new on couch surfing!!! I was born and raised in Japan, with a British father and a Korean mother. I am currently studying Global Sustainability Science in Utrecht University in the Netherlands, which has been amazing so far! I am in my first year, and am 18. I can speak Japanese and English fluently and am currently studying Korean.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much any kind of music. I am open to new things and will listen to anything my friends recommend. (E.g. Amine, Ed Sheeran, walk the moon, one ok rock, Taylor Swift, Steve Aoki, Adele, Kendrick Lamar, post Malone, 88rising, edm, Shawn Mendez, black eyed peas, ikon, backnumber etc) I also watch a lot of movies. Down for anything. Personal favorites: the help, the hangover, Harry Potter, the hunger games, call me by your name, love Rosie, spirited away) Like to read Japanese comics, but also like mystery novels(e.g. Onepiece, gone girl)
