Hello! I'm Miya :) Nice to e-meet you!

I am traveling the world for one year! I was traveling in Europe for 3 months and now I am in Japan :)

I was born in Japan to Chinese parents and moved to Canada when I was 10 years old. I just graduated from UBC, specializing in Cognitive Systems. If you like discussing about the impacts of automation and the essence of what it means to be human, hit me up :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am excited to people from all over the world to hear their life stories and learn about their cultures. I also hope to gain some words of wisdom from experienced travellers :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

1) I can speak Japanese, Mandarin and English. If you would like to learn or improve any of those languages, I would be happy to help!

2) I love listening to stories and secrets. If you want an extra set of ears, I'm all yours!

3) I also love sharing stories and reflecting about my life out loud. If you enjoy listening, I would be happy to share my stories with you :)

4) An extra pair of hands for any general help you need, such as washing dishes or carrying groceries :D

5) I can (kinda) cook, but I tend to like experimenting with food so the final taste is not always guaranteed :P
