Hey!! Hola! Ciao! Shalom!
I'm going be traveling and adventuring very soon and have had great CS experiences in the past. Usually I request hosts and accept surfers who I think I would love to get to know: artists, scientists, bookworms, musicians, and anyone loves to be creative! I hope you skim my profile and choose me to be your couch guest!

CURRENT MISSION

Explore New Orleans Jazz and summit a mountain in Denver at the end of March and in the beginning of April!

ABOUT ME

Half Japanese and half Israeli, but, from the Midwest. I like to go on adventures and love to explore and wander around new places. I went on my Pacific Northwest trip last summer and spontaneously met a bunch of travelers from all over el mundo. I compose and perform music and make bad art. I also specialize in cooking all Asian food.

Sometimes when I'm traveling, people ask if I'm lost. I find myself explaining that I'm wandering and exploring, so being lost is part of it. My favorite part of traveling is meeting new people and travelers and exchanging stories with them.
