Hi!
I'm a 28-year-old student originally from Japan. Having studied law in Tokyo, I spent a year at the University of Colorado, USA, and moved to South-West Germany to study European/Prussian constitutional history and Hebrew. While the course of my study, however, I got hired by a German lecturer specialized in Russo-Chinese border history and got fascinated by the Slavic languages. Recently I've finished my second B.A. in history, and decided to become a Slavic linguist. Basically, I just let my interests lead me to where I've never been to:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been using Airbnb for a long time and met a lot of amazing people there. It came to my mind why not give a try to CS:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Maybe I can teach you guys some Japanese if interested?

I've been learning Russian for 3 years, Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian for 1-2 years, and recently started learning Czech. Some conversations in any of these languages would be very welcome!:)
