Hello! I am a graduate student based in Tokyo.

I grew up in 5 countries, speak English and Japanese, and enjoy making friends from all cultures.

I am a calm, empathic person who loves open, intellectual conversations with people of different backgrounds.

I love sightseeing old towns and artifacts!!

Today, I am enrolled in an online graduate Master's program at a UK university, and live with my family in Tokyo.
Though I cannot be a host at my family's house, but hopefully I start living on my own this year :)

初めまして！
イギリスの大学院のオンラインプログラムで学んでいる、はるです。
今は東京で実家暮らしをしているのですが、今年から家を借りてホストもできるようになろうと計画中です！

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to meet interesting, open-minded people and have fulfilling conversations anywhere around the world.

去年は海外に半年いたので、今年は日本国内の文化にも触れていきたいと思っています。
対話をたのしめる時間が大好きです。

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2018, I cooked chicken on the streets of Cambodia for 3 months.
The shop quickly became a popular stall that offers Japanese teriyaki chicken. :D

Ask me anything about my adventure of buying a stall to cooking on the road! :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a tutoring experience of English, essay-writing (English and Japanese), primary school to high school subjects in international schools and returnee entrance exams for universities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope to be a pleasant company of any stories you feel like telling,

I can share my stories of running a food stall in Cambodia, cruising with 300 international youths for a month, and being hypnotized by a friend (in a good way!) and more.....!

Countries I’ve Lived In
