Hi, I'm Paola! I grew up in Quebec, Canada and I speak English, French, and Spanish. Also, I am 25 and not 27 :)

I will be visiting Asia for the first time and I am quite excited. I recently got back from a year of travel across Latin America and now it's time to experience a new continent.

I consider myself to be quite friendly and outgoing. I love experiencing new things and learning about different cultures. I value kindness and authenticity.

Also, someone please tell me I didn't miss the season to hike mount Fuji???

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wow it's been a while since I've been on here. I used couchsurf back in 2017 for my trip to LA and had a wonderful time! I am back years later and would like a host for my solo trip to Japan. I've solo travelled before but this will be my first time doing so without knowing the language.

I've visited north, central, and south America as well as parts of Europe. This will be my first time visiting Asia and I am both nervous and excited. Through my many travels , I've had the opportunity to meet people from all around the world and I'm looking forward to continuing to do so. I would love for someone to welcome me to Japan and accompany me to the best places in Japan along with the hidden gems that the country has to offer. I would also appreciate a place to stay while I am there if this is within your means.

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my favourite books is the Alchemist, it reminds me of the magic of the around us and to enjoy the journey not the destination.
