First time on couch surfing!
We are siblings born on the west coast of Canada with Japanese and Chilean ancestry. We are both very easy going, extroverted and adventurous!
We are connecting with our roots by bicycling through Japan for 5 months starting in February 2020!
We are open to new experiences and adventures. We're hoping to learn as much as we can about Japan's traditions, recipes and culture!
We love food, people, film, fishing, surfing, biking, onsens, sake and humour 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to meet people and connect with Japanese traditions since it was our great great grandparents that emigrated from Kyushu to Canada.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quite a few but you'll have to ask.

Teach, Learn, Share

We work with youth back home both in the outdoors and in mental health support roles. We love kids and the outdoors and see the importance of merging the two. We also make documentary films that are about social and environmental justice, which we are passionate about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, laughs, yerba mate tea session, English lesson, movie screenings and a good time 😊
