DISCLAIMER🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
BEFORE YOU MESSAGE ME.....

I'M NOT LOCATED IN SOUTH KOREA

❗️I usually respond to messages if they are relevant.
❗️If you'd like to meet up with me or travel together, I would appreciate it if you introduced yourself before messaging me.
❗️I will not accept friend requests if we have not met or talked.

THIS IS NOT A DATING APP. USE TINDER.
❗️I have no interest in traveling with a man to split boarding costs.
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

❗️Sorry, I can't find you a job in Japan.

❗️Don't request to be hosted, exchange a few messages, then ghost people.
If your plans have changed, communicate like an adult.

❗️ Don't join someone else's CS hangout just to suggest doing something different .

❗️Couchsurfing is based on reciprocity.
❗️ My home is not a hotel. If you haven't hosted anyone or helped someone out in your city , I have no interest in hosting you. While I understand that some people aren't able to have their own place, the concept of couchsurfing lives on due to reciprocity.

❗️Please don't send an AI generated message. It's pretty obvious when a message is AI generated.

❗️Please don't send copy and paste messages. It's only fair for me to receive a personalized message from someone who would like to be welcomed into my personal space.

❗️I can't help you plan your trip to Japan over a message. There are more than enough resources on the internet for you to plan your trip. I can only offer advice on travel in my area.

Anyways,

Hola, que tal. Soy Elizabeth. Mis amigos Latinos me dicen Eli.
Soy hija de padres Michoacános criada en el valle central de California. Me gusta identificarme como Chicana, una palabra usada para referirse a alguien con ascendencia Mexicana nacida y criada en los Estados Unidos. Estoy muy orgullosa de ser hija de inmigrantes y de ser mexicana. Me encanta hablar en Español cada vez que tengo la oportunidad.
Soy viajera de corazón y me encanta la aventura espontánea. Soy persona honesta, humilde, sencilla. Me encanta estudiar idiomas y culturas. Busco conocer a gente por medio de esta comunidad y también busco aprender sobre otros estilos de vida. Por ahora vivo y trabajo en en sur de Japón y espero poder viajar por muchos países asiáticos. Me encanta conocer a otros Latinos o hispanohablantes.

Hello fellow travelers,
my name is Elizabeth, but most anglophones call me "Liz."

I am Mexican American. 🇲🇽🇺🇸 I was born and raised in Central California. My parents were born and raised in Mexico in the state of Michoacán. I'm very proud of my Mexican roots and upbringing. I love learning about Mexican culture and also teaching others about México's rich and diverse culture. I'm undeniably American but also very Mexican. I'm bilingual and bicultural.

I'm currently living in southern Japan. I enjoy traveling and meeting local people like most who are on this website. I'm all about mutual respect, good vibes, and honesty. I love learning about different ways of life and sharing about my experiences and culture.

I enjoy hanging out with surfers, introducing them to my friends, and enjoying local cuisine together. I'm eager to explore new areas and hike new mountains as well.

I live in an old but fair sized apartment on top of a nice hill with a very nice view of the city. It is a 15-minute uphill walk from a train station and about a 3 minute walk from a bus stop. I can offer a futon to my guests. I also have parking spaces for those who might be traveling by car or motorcycle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to connect with locals and meet new people.
