Hi everyone!
I'm a student currently taking a gap year to travel around Europe :)
I love learning new languages and experiencing new things. Hope I can meet a lot of people and discover new cultures !
I lived in Japan for 2 years in Kyoto and I plan to do my master's degree somewhere in Europe next year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually stay at youth hostels when I travel, but since this year I will be traveling quite a bit, I figured I might as well try couchsurfing! I've heard many positive comments about this community, hoping to meet nice people !

Music, Movies, and Books

I love bands like London Grammar or the Arctic Monkeys as well as classical music or even Hip-Hop. No real preference, I love listening to different things.
My favorite books include the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, Terry Pratchett's books and more 'classical' literature.
I'm honestly not sure what my favorite movie would be haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I hiked all the way to the Jōmon Sugi (a 5000ish thousand-year-old tree) at the top of the Yakushima Island in Japan. It's a 10-hour trip in the mountain and it's absolutely gorgeous.
Would definitely recommend it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I was an English teacher at a Japanese school and I love exchanging about languages. No matter what language you speak, I want to learn about it !
