Currently part of the Asian Studies Program in Kansai Region in Japan until the end of December, then I will travel South East Asia for a month, before returning back to Switzerland. I am somewhat outgoing but also introvert nature, I am curious, love to learn new things and get inspired by nature, people, and styles. I love doing yoga and meditation, finding to myself when breathing helps me manage my life.

I like to challenge myself with new things I want to integrate into my life. That's why I started to study quite late and also the reason why I sent myself to South America, backpacking for 5 months. And eventually, my curiosity led me to Japan, the first country for me in Asia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm keen to explore the art and alternative scenes from Osaka, the more traditional spots in Kyoto, as well as the stunning landscapes in and around the Kansai region. I love to hang out with people who love to be either active or like to talk about their lives, experiences, joys, fears - ideally both combined :) Please let me know about your culture and show me around to your favorite spots :)

The first weekend in November I'll be in Seoul, Korea. In December I will be in Tokyo for a week with my sister. Then 1 month in South East Asia
