Hello! My name is Lina. I am originally from Poland but I was raised in the US. Now I’m staying in Tokyo for one year. I can’t imagine staying in one place when there’s so much in the world to see. I’m a creative writing major and writing is my most important outlet. I love stories. I love telling them and hearing other people’s stories which is why I love traveling and meeting people. I don’t know anyone in Japan yet (just my one friend and roomate but she’s a big introvert so it’s a little difficult) and I would really love to meet and hangout with people and experience Tokyo together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably deciding to drop everything and travel around Asia for 2 months. My first serious solo trip. Just bought a ticket on a whim. And I was totally broke for the months leading up to the trip. Amazing or impulsive? Both. Totally worth it.
