Hi:) I'm Saya, born and raised in Hokkaido, Japan. I moved to Vancouver 5 years ago to study, and I loved Canada so much I decided to stay. I'm planning a trip to Toronto, Montreal and maybe New York in September - October this year. Looking for a place to stay and some recommendations from local people. Whenever I travel somewhere, I usually travel with my friends who are from that city/country so I can actually experience how people live, eat, and enjoy their lives there. This time I don't have any friends from those cities, so I decided to try out Couchsurf. I'm clean, friendly and respectful. I'm also really short so I won't take up much space!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and getting to know the local people, culture and food. I wanted to couch surf so I can get some recommendations from people who live in the area.
