About Me

Hi! I'm 25 years old and working for an IT company. I have studied Swedish at university in Osaka, Japan until March 2019, then moved to Tokyo and began a new life.

I'm easygoing but sometimes a little shy. I’m a person who try to challenge anything I want to do and enjoy whatever I do. I like chatting with anyone even though it's the first time to meet up. If we will be able to do it with drinking or sweets, I don't have any reason to decline it.

I really like traveling with getting to know more about local culture and habits or finding differences from our culture. Then I often take many pictures. I also practice to take more beautiful/wonderful pictures.

I'm interested so much in good local food. Food is one of the most important elements which make me feel happier. But I prefer to eat at cheaper restaurant for locals or buy some famous food at supermarkets than to eat at expensive restraunt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to know more about another culture and habits through local people. Besides, I think CS is a good system to make friends in foreign countries. I also would like to improve my English thorough conversation. I think many people who make use of CS have various backgrounds but it's the same that we are curious about travel and/or culture, so I want to share our experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The school life in Sweden (Aug 2015~ May 2016)! I learned about outdoor(friluftsliv) and we often went to forest or islands to go hiking, sleep in tent, paddle a kayak or a canoe, do climbing, ski, skate on lake. Everything is new experience and really made me excited.

In March 2016 I've been to Norway with my friends to ski. We stayed for one week there. Nice weather and view, comfortable snow(I fell many times while skiing but didn't feel any pain!) cozy cottage... I won't forget it and I want to visit again if I have a opportunity.

I can teach Japanese and caligraphy.
I could teach Swedish if you learn with beginner level.
