I have been living in Kyoto for almost 5 years and I love this city. I recently got involved in tour guiding and enjoy meeting people from around the world. I want to travel not only by going abroad but also from meeting other people. Yuko and I are both very chill but also enjoy having fun outside or BBQ parties. We will be happy to teach you all the best places to visit in Kyoto and Japan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love travel and now we are planning a trip to Eastern Europe late June and early July. We want to meet locals and offer people a chance to come visit us in Kyoto City.

Interests

I love to travel, meet people, eat delicious food, drink cold beer, history, culture and reading. I also enjoy sports especially soccer, swimming, yoga and ice hockey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a volunteer teacher on the Peaceboat, a Japanese NGO which sails around the world. We learned a lot along the way and visited 22 countries. It was also lots of fun to see different places and many new people. I realised that even though we live in a big world, we have many things that bond us.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in foreign languages and history mostly, but also love cooking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to share my knowledge of Japan and trade stories about travel, or share recipes and even cook for you.
