Sorryyyyyy I'm too busy to accept guests but once I got time I'd like to welcome you!

I grew up in the Japanese countryside and am a Japanese person who has always been interested in overseas cultures. (●'◡'●)
I graduated with a Master's degree last March.

At university, I studied oceanography and had many opportunities to interact with international students.🌊

From 2026, I will work in the Solomon Islands for two years as a fisheries management assistant. Before that, I would like to travel overseas to experience various cultures and see different aspects of the world.

Not through this app, but I have had Indian, French, Estonian, and American people visit my home before! If I become a host, I might be able to show you some local and special spots in my neighborhood if I have time.

Japanese people are sometimes seen as a little shy and too serious, but I consider myself sociable, proactive, and love to chat !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn about different lifestyles and values.

When I travel, I'm not only interested in visiting tourist spots but also in understanding the daily lives and what people cherish in their local communities. I find Couchsurfing very appealing because it allows me to interact with people who actually live in those places.

If I have the chance to connect with the person who has different culture, I would love to ask questions like:
"What do you love most about this place?"
"What time do you usually wake up and what do you eat?"
