Hello! My name is Koki and I'm currently a student in Japan. I grew up in Santa Monica, California for most of my life, and I've had great experiences meeting new people out of my social comfort zone. I mainly travel around the Greater China area since I speak conversational Chinese, but I loved East Europe which I toured this Spring, and would love to go back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to experience the local way of life, rather than going to the touristy places, so lets have fun (with a couple of beers), and I will guide you when you come to Japan!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my short term study at Beijing University, I've been going out every other night to the night clubs in Wudaokou. One day I lost a bet with a friend, and bought drinks to everyone in the club. After that I was literally called the "Prince of Beijing."

What I Can Share with Hosts

We could have casual talks along with some Japanese sake.
