Hi everyone, I am an Exchange student from Japan studying English in St.Louis, Missouri since August '14. And I'm 20 yo.

I was born and raised mostly in Japan, but I also lived in Philippines for five years and San Francisco for two years when I was in elementary school.

Because of a lot of good memories and experiences that I had from each countries, I started being curious about the other countries and cultures that I don't know. That is one of the reason why I was working at the international dorm in my home university. I got to make lovely friends from different countries who are studying Japanese there.

Well, I guess it's now my turn to go abroad and study about other cultures or share mine. I am looking forward to make fantastic memories with you guys!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

My hobby is to play or watch sports (especially soccer and rugby), read Manga, photography, and travel around. I am also interested in learning a lot of languages that I don't speak, so I would love to spend time together sharing information about our selves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Few years ago, me and my family went on an American national park trip. We rented a camper van and traveled around. The national parks we went were Grand canyon, Zion, Monument valley, Antelope canyon, Bryce canyon, and Yosemite. I'll never forget the beautiful Half Dome glowing in the sunset, it is one of my unforgettable scene in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Japanese (both language and culture) and anything about me, and at the same time, I want to learn non-Japanese languages and cultures. I would also love to share how great life experiences you have had :)
