Hi! I’m Masako.
I’m from Japan and will be staying in Zambia as a volunteer until 2027.
I’m especially eager to connect with people who live in Zambia or have knowledge about the country.
I'm also looking for someone who can teach me the local language in Zambia, Tonga, Nyanja.

If any part of this description fits you, please reach out to me.

And also I can teach you Japanese and Japanese culture.
Thank you :)

No, Romance🙅‍♀️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
