I'm Mica from the Philippines. I'm currently studying in Kyoto, Japan. I've been living in the city for few years and became familiar with the area despite the language barrier. I like to walk around Kyoto during my free time and I like going to different cafes for tea or cake but would also go to the convenience store to buy drinks and just hang out near the river. I enjoy meeting different people learning about their culture or their experience in traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about CS from some travelers that I met in Kyoto and I really got curious about the concept so I just downloaded the app. I wasn't able to believe it at first that such thing exist but it turned out to be fun and interesting. I'm enjoying CS so I'm still using it. I met good people and learned a lot of things. At the moment I couldn't accept guest but I would be happy to give recommendations or hangout.

I haven't had a chance to be a couch surfer although I became a host already. I would like to experience being a couch surfer in the future meeting and living with locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing that I've done is being a host in CS. It's a gamble and a game of luck. However long the letter included in the request doesn't guarantee a persons personality. I'm lucky, the people I've met were really good and I haven't had any trouble.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share travel experience and I could also cook Filipino or Japanese food. In some cases I could also teach how to play tennis or maybe even swimming.
