Hi everyone, my name is Mika! I’m currently studying abroad in Kyoto, Japan for one year :)

I took a gap year after high school and traveled around Europe and Asia for seven months! I did a lot of WWOOFing (volunteer farming) as well :) It was the most amazing, exciting adventure of my life! I couchsurfed a lot while traveling and met some of the coolest, kindest people who opened my eyes to many different things and cultures. I’m so grateful for everyone that hosted me or that I met up with.

I would love to meet up with people in Kyoto and explore the city! I'm learning Japanese now and love practicing with native speakers!

Little bit about me: I love listening to people's stories, cooking, eating and drinking with people, dancing to music, board games, reading, volleyball and much more :) I’m a pretty chill, easy going person :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I think one of the best parts of traveling is getting to experience new cultures and customs, and Couchsurfing seems like the perfect way to do so! I would love to exchange different ideas and stories with people all over the world.
