Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be staying in Tokyo until Christmas and I want to take that opportunity to discover the city with a local and exchange cultural knowledge. To me, it's beneficial in both ways.
I heard about couch surfing by a friend as she was suggesting me to do it while i travel solo and want to meet new people and explore the city as a local.
I think Couchsurfing can be rewarding in so many ways, for the host and myself as we can exchange our language and culture knowledge, our interests, common or not etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of Rnb Hip-Hop, and House music. I love Drake, Rihanna, J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell Williams, Childish Gambino, Alicia Keys, Common, Majid Jordan, Solange Knowles, Bryson Tiller, GoldLink, Tory Lanez, Nilas, Kaytranada, Stwo, Mura Masa and more...
I love all movies from Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood... Love All superhero movies such as Man of Steel, The Avengers, The Dark Knight, Spider-man. Also a huge huge fan of the X-Men! and love all comedy movies and drama movies. Basically everything BUT horror movies. The last one i watched was The Ring (japanese version) and i am still traumatized.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling solo to a country i know nothing about, not even the language nothing but ended up staying there two years. It was hard at the beginning but this experience helped me so much, i really learned a lot about myself, personally and also professionally.
