Hi! My name is Genzo and I am currently a 4th year university student at Soka University of America, a small liberal arts college in Aliso Viejo, California.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend is coming to California to visit me for Christmas break and I would really love to show her around the LA area while she is here. She has lived in Japan all her life and this is her first time in the US. We are both college students and don't have much to go off of which is why we decided to give couch surfing a shot! If you have any type of accommodation for us we would greatly appreciate it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer some interesting life stories and good conversation :) more than that, I pride myself in being a good listener! Due to the possibly short-term nature of this host-hostee relationship, it can be quite therapeutic talking to someone who will not judge and has no direct relationship to your social circles.

I also am tidy by nature, so you never have to worry about cleaning up after me or my friends during our stay.
