I am a Japanese-American college student living in the Seattle area. I've had so many positive experiences from CS so far and I am hoping to make many more friends in this wonderful community!

PHILOSOPHY:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always up for meeting new people, especially of different cultures! I am looking forward to experience local culture and make new friends around the world!

Couchsurfing taught me that the capacity of human generosity is endless. It amazes and touches me to see so many open minded people accepting strangers into their culture.

Interests

Aside from travel,
I love love love sports. Especially volleyball and tennis.

Recently got my open water scuba diving license in Mexico! I'm so excited to dive into oceans all over the world. Its really a whole different world down there!!!

Also obsessed with cats although I don't own one.... :(

I usually spend my alone time reading- books, blogs, articles, quotes, anything that can make me think deep.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me about my month backpacking Spain and Morocco as two 18 year-old high school graduates, lol. It was truly the best experience of my life and the start of many more travel adventures to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

INSPIRE ME! I live off inspiration. Especially crazy travel stories and deep philosophical thoughts about life in general.

I am still in the process of building my identity so I am open to all kinds of ideas!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I absolutely love discussing about and comparing different languages and cultures. I have lots of experience in both Japanese and American culture. I can also help teach English or Japanese!
