I am Eri Matsuda, Japanese. I am a librarian and currently studying archival management in NY. I really love to talk to people! I am truly friendly and respectful. I am curious about a lot of things and try to know more different things.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I want to talk more to new people and share precious time and experience with them. Also, I would love to know a different culture and tradition from local people.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I used to play samba drums while living in Japan, and I made a lot of good friends.
My favorite movies are "Back to the Future," "Coco," and "Kiki's Delivery Service."
I like books written in Japanese, but I am trying to read English books these days. My favorite Japanese books are "Kokoro" by Soseki Natsume and "The Great Passage" by Shion Miura.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I lived in Brazil and lived there to study Portuguese. That country was the first country I visited outside of Japan. I needed a lot of courage to go there and live by myself because Brazilian culture is totally different from the Japanese one. However, I could meet a bunch of nice people and learn a new culture there, and change my way of life.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I am studying archives, so I can talk about the theory and the situation of archives with you if you want (sorry, it is too niche, but I believe that should be an interesting talk!).
I can make some Japanese food like sushi as well :)
