My name is Max and nice to meet you!

I was born in 1989 in Sweden. I fell in love with Japan when I was 8 years old and my interest in Japan has kept growing and growing since then. I studied abroad in Kyoto from 2011 - 2013 and since last year I finally fulfilled my dream and moved back to Japan, but this time in Kumamoto which is located on Japan's southern island.
Now I live in a small town called Minamioguni close to Japan's largest active volcano in Mt. Aso.
Here I enjoy nature, Japanese warmth, the slow life of the countryside and much more!

Best regards,

Max

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, it has always been a dream to live in the Japanese countryside and that dream has now finally come true.
I truly love my small idyllic mountain town and the entire area of Mt. Aso which is totally breath-taking and something anyone should experience at least once! That is why I wanted to join couch-surfing. I wish to share this place with more people from around the world! But I know it can be hard to get around in the countryside without a car or if your Japanese is limited.
So I offer my couch to anyone who wants to visit and check out one of the most beautiful places in Japan! I will also gladly use any spare time to guide you in the area as I have a car as well! :)
