Hello! My name is Sayaka Nishiuma. I am originally from Japan/Kobe, and I am doing Working holiday in Germany since last April.
Now, I’m traveling in Europe for 3 months.
I have a passion for traveling and meeting new people from all over the world.

I have worked as a Tax accountant staff in the office for 5 years and worked as an elementary teacher for 2years in Japan.

I love exploring new cultures, trying different cuisines, and learning new languages. So far, I have visited 10 countries and am always excited to add more to the list!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to experience a new place is through the eyes of a local. Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to not only find a place to stay but also to make genuine connections and friendships. I love sharing stories, experiences, and cultural insights with my hosts and guests.

Interests

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the nature, such as hiking, diving, and traveling. I also have a keen interest in watching the volleyball games, which is currently especially VNL2024 or Olympic.
