I am not from the USA, but from Georgia (country located in Europe)

My profile picture is from Linga Bhairavi temple in Kathmandu, it's not a Georgian way of dressing
日本語話せます！

Just exploring life for a bit before settling down

去年ホストファミリーといっしょに福岡に住んでいましたが、今度一人で旅行をします。
I have been in Japan several times, last summer I stayed in a Japanese host family for language learning during the summer and this time I decided to travel around Japan alone.
I am on couchsurfing because I want to meet people and hear about different lives.

One unfun thing about me is that I don’t drink due to Buddha’s five precepts. I'm also vegetarian 🌱 But I don't do it for moral reasons so not offended by others eating what they like

I’ve recently added couch photos to my profile

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives me the feeling of staying with a friend for a sleepover, I find it very fun :D I am also curious about learning new perspectives of life
