About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing, chill, generally happy and I like to laugh. I live in Kobe for now, and I really like travelling and meeting people! I've used couchsurfing once when I visited South Korea, and I had a really great experience, so I'd like to return the favor by hosting people at my home as well! My parents are Deaf, so I'm fluent in American Sign Language and I'd love to host some Deaf homies, so hit me up!

I'm really interested in cooking, Japanese history and books, and I love to play games (like card games and stuff) too! If you can teach me how to cook a dish from your country or if you're into games, please hit me up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet cool people and have nice experiences. I'd also like to be able to make international friends and have reasons to go on trips to other countries :D

Interests

Learning about languages and cultures, writing, reading, chilling with friends. I love video games and music as well!
I'm an aspiring voice actress! Ask me about it if you'd like to see some of the stuff I do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a commercial! It was really cool.
I also hugged a 1-year old to sleep and that felt pretty great. (Not in a creepy way by the way, I'm an international teacher for ages 1-2!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about American Deaf culture, New York.... er... that's all I can think about now.

I'm super into languages, so if you could teach me some, that'd be great!

What I Can Share with Hosts

You can choose between a fold-down couch to surf on in the living room or a Japanese-style futon, you'd have your own room, in the winter I can't promise heating but I do have blankets and pillows... If I'm free when you visit, I can show you around Kobe or if you have a location in mind, I can go with you if you want! If you don't speak Japanese and you need assistance somehow, I can hook you up as well. I will prepare clean towels as well!
