Hello, my name is Michiyo. I'm originally from Japan. I'm a half Filipino and Japanese. I've been in San Francisco California more than 16 years. I've been working at community farm and gardens in San Francisco. I love grow food and taking care of plants. Also I'm a freelancer for E-commerce business. However, I decided to finish my San Francisco life and starting travel around the world for more enjoy lest of my life. Now I’m traveling around India since March 2024. Also, I'm a food lover and would love to try to eat many kind of food which I've never done before. And I love cooking too. I always enjoy cooking with someone and share my cooking skills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travel and meet new people and experiencing new things. Also, hanging out with local people is always fun for me and more better to know their culture and many stories of their country. Learning new culture and languages are always makes me excite and fun! Also, I'm always happy to share my knowledge and skills with someone.
