Kia ora from New Zealand! My partner and I are visiting Tokyo in August (1st - 14th). We have accommodation with a friend but hope to meet Tokyo locals through CS and hang out + experience the city from diverse perspectives. Hopefully we can host you someday in NZ too!

I am a postgraduate student in philosophy of education. I recently completed my M.A thesis titled "How do I become a husband?" (I wonder if I'll meet anyone with a shared interest...📚 🤵‍♂️). I'm also a big indie/alternative music fan and make music myself (check out my band! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5_JL1nIMno). I usually love to cook, but while in Tokyo I'm looking forward to eating out... a lot. I hope I can get some good recommendations!

Neither my partner or I are fluent in Japanese but we both know a little (enough to communicate the basics).
