ABOUT ME

Hi there!

I am Shiho. I just graduated from Valparaiso University (Indiana) in May with a bachelor's degree in public relations.

Needless to say, I love traveling. I try to travel as much as I can when I am on holidays. I visited Europe in 2011, and had my first couchsurfing experience in Brussels. It was such an amazing experience. As my first CS experience was a wonderful one, I am still here on CS :)

I am in love with Hawaii, and I have been there about 15 times in my whole life.

Basically, I am really open minded, fun and easy going. I like to have a good conversation with other travelers and share some great travel experiences. I enjoy spontaneous encounters :D

PHILOSOPHY
