hey there!

I'm still pretty new to couchsurfing, but it's been very good to me so far. l'll be traveling in Japan, January 4th through February 1st, 2017. I'm looking to meet new faces, whether that be sharing a meal, wandering for a day, grabbing a beer, new travel buddies, or a place to sleep.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

it's such a positive way to share experience, see a new place, and meet new people.
