Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently, I took a break from work because I felt burnt out. I'm single and feeling a bit lost in life, so I decided to rediscover my love for travel and languages with a solo trip around Europe. However, due to the weak yen and my current lack of income, staying in hostels is financially tough. Couchsurfing can help me visit new places and continue my journey longer.

I absolutely love learning about languages, cultures, and food through travel. But staying in hostels makes it hard to meet locals and truly understand the country. I've been traveling in Spain for a month, but my interactions with locals have been limited to short-term encounters like walking tours and hostel staff. Through Couchsurfing, I hope to build more meaningful and long-term connections with hosts.

I also want to give back to my hosts. I can help with social media tasks, teach Japanese or Chinese, cook Japanese meals, and I'm good with kids and pets. I'm excited to share my skills and learn from you!
