MY STORY

I spent about 18 years of my life in Japan (Tokyo and Yokohama) and 7 years of it in the United States (Michigan and San Francisco). After 3 years of experience in marketing consulting (in San Francisco and Tokyo), I moved to London to get my Master's and am currently in the process of acquiring one. I will be moving to Paris in late August.

WHAT I LOVE

I love traveling, especially traveling solo (been to 21 countries in Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America so far), hiking, climbing, meeting people from different countries, and learning about different cultures and lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

MY OBJECTIVES

The main reason why I am using Couchsurfing is simply because I want to explore meetup events happening in new cities and meet people there. In the future, I would like to experience in sharing my place or renting someone else's couch. I would like to meet anyone from different backgrounds from mine and/or anyone with the same interests as mine, but I am currently learning French so I would also love the opportunity to speak with French speakers. I can teach Japanese as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to about 13 countries as a solo backpacker within 2 years (skydiving, diving, outback camping, etc, ... every experience was amazing!).

What I Can Share with Hosts

As mentioned in the 'Why I'm on Couchsurfing' section, I would love to share my backgrounds and simply just the time to enjoy conversations with people I met through events. In the future, I'd love to host other people (specially the ones that were kind enough to host me in their countries) as well.
