ABOUT ME

日本語-English-Français-한국어

[2019: Currently in NZ, about to join my American friend on her working holiday for a year. Traveling around, hoping to make friends on the way and explore!]

Born and raised in Japan up to age 10, then lived in England between age 10-15, and lived in France for a year with a working holiday visa in 2013.
(Je pratique prèsque plus du tout le français en ce moment... ça me ferait plaisir d'en pratiquer avec un(e) natif/ive !)

I've moved several times within Japan too - from Kanagawa to Okinawa to Hiroshima... tried becoming an adult but didn't work out so I saved up some money, quit my job, and decided to go on an adventure again 😉 annnnd here I am in New Zealand!

I love traveling, meeting new people and learning different ways of doing things!
To me, having a good time together is what matters the most, regardless of your age, gender, race, religion, language, culture, sexual orientation... all that stuff.

I have passion for cinema, literature, music, and other forms of art.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Left my little town in Japan with my sister at age 10, to go to a boarding school in England while both my parents stayed in the country.
Although at the time, being a little kid, I was super excited and not scared... let's see how excited I'd be if I were to do it now haha

教，学，和分享

I kinda think that depends on the mood and the situation and the person. There's not a set manual for Couchsurfing!

Yeahhhh kinda same as above. But my knowledge of different languages and cultures? Boring?
