Hey, I'm Lena, 26 and I am currently traveling around the world.
My hobbies are reading and traveling and blogging (about traveling).
I love summer and the sun, lying on the beach, cooling off in the ocean.
I had my first surf lesson recently and want to experience more new things, like for example diving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and I love meeting people from all over the world.
So I thought to myself why not try Couchsurfing. If possible I would like to host some interesting people (unfortunately we, my boyfriend and I, only have a very small apartment) on my couch (literally).
I know a lot about Tokyo and other tourist spots all over Japan and would be happy to give everyone tips on where to go and what to do.
From next year my boyfriend and I are going to travel the world for one year, and we hope we can stay with a lot of couch-surfers on the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite singer is Ed Sheeran and I would love to go to one of his concerts.
I love to read. Everything from books about finance, self-education, fantasy novels and historical dramas.
But my favorite book series of all time is Harry Potter.
Don't really have a favorite movie, but I like watching Netflix after work. And I am obsessed with Game of Thrones.

If you want to be part of our amazing adventure let us stay at your place!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages and would like to learn the basics in your language, whatever it is, unfortunately, I am not a very fast learner at the beginning, so you will have to be patient.
I also love to cook and I could show you some very simple Japanese recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would share stories of life in Japan (from the unique viewpoint of a foreigner). Japan is a crazy country and I have so much to tell you all.
I can also teach you some basic German or Japanese if you are interested.
I am writing a travel blog (in English and Japanese) and if you would be willing I would put you, your couch and your story on my blog for the world to see.
