Advertising student studying at San Diego State University/Aoyama Gakuin. I work as a model in Tokyo and plan on staying here permanently, but would love to try living in Stockholm or Hong Kong for a few years. I can't host couchsurfers currently because I'm living in a sharehouse, but look forward to hosting as soon as I move to an apartment complex.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Started couchsurfing a few years ago on my first trip to Tokyo, and had some amazing experiences that made me want to host visitors from abroad and couchsurf in other cities. I think couchsurfing is the best way to immerse yourself in local culture and an incredible opportunity to make lasting friendships and broaden your horizons.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught English as a second language in Taiwan, so if you want help with English conversation, I would be more than happy to help you out.

I love foreign languages and want to learn Swedish and Chinese. If you speak a second language I would be really glad to learn a few phrases in your mother tongue.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let me know if there's anything you would like from Tokyo! I usually bring snacks/omiyage but if there's anything specific you're looking for, don't be hesitant to request something.
