Konichiwa Couchserfers! I’m Hao, originally from Japan and I live in Uganda🇯🇵🇺🇬

🚨I’m back in Japan in May and June 2024, let’s meet up!

🏜MY TRAVEL
I started backpacking since I was 15 and found myself that my heart is definitely in mama Africa!!!❤️‍🔥

Although I went through school, I’ve found that wealth of my life has come from traveling and meeting people from around the world. So I skipped many school days to visit the Maasai tribe in Tanzania, stayed at an orphanage in Cambodia and explored many new places to discover the world and myself.
After graduating from high school, I decided to travel more in Africa while working on remote. After 8 months journey across Africa, I finally decided to settle in this beautiful continent from 2022. I live in Uganda, where I found as a place to call home🇺🇬

I work as an exclusive writer at two newspaper companies remotely and work in music industry as a festival/event organizer and dj in East Africa.

🧘🏽‍♀️PERSONALLY
I'm super open minded, wild and peaceful. I’m always up for a new adventure! I love doing things that make me feel alive and just purely being. I always seek to learn and nourish myself from every experience that I live.
I normally spend my day for making news articles or meeting people but love partying on weekends :-) After a crazy night at a party, I might be doing yoga at balcony or volunteering in town the next day XD

I’m flexible and easy going.
Addicted to this adventurous lifestyle!🌵
