About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeing beautiful nature, cities and histrical places as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

I lived in Canada for working holiday last year. During I was in Canada, I traveled across the North America by bus for 2 months. Then, I worked at the lodge in the wilderness for learning French cooking and seeing the Northern Lights!! I spent amazing time in Canada. After that, I traveled Europe for 3months.
I just came back here.
I enjoyed travel thanks to CS. So it's the time to host people now. I'm excited to share the culture, recipe and experiences with travelers!!

PHILOSOPHY

We have only one life, so I want to see many things as much as I can. Even if it's hard way, just go!! Never give up! Never look back! Just going forward!
Even if it is hard, anything will be a sum of all my experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I stayed at the hostel in Tofino, a girl who was the same room as me told about this system.
And I thought I want to use CSing and meet as many people as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been to some countries alone and local people were very kind to me. The memories of couch surging are amazing! I could meet local people and travelers, we could drink and shared the experience each other. Some hosts showed me around the city and I cooked delicious Japanese food. I will never forget each memories with the hosts. I really want to meet them again in my life.
