Hello, I am Shiori from Japan, studying Cyber Security Engineering in Tallinn, Estonia😊I'll be studying in Madrid, Spain for the Autumn semester 2019, and I am very excited about my exchange programme!

Others say, I am a curious, adventurous and friendly girl. I studied in California, USA as an exchange student for one year, I can share this amazing experience with you.
I love learning languages on general. I actually work as an English tutor for Japanese people and sometimes English for Japanese learners as well, which has been great pleasure! Besides English, I am currently working on Spanish and Estonian. If you are interested in Japanese language or culture, you are very welcome to message me!

My hobby is to play piano and guitar, to watch movies and anime. I also like drawing and painting🖌💓I am learning how to code as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love to meet new people and talk to them! As I went to the United States, I found it very interesting to know other cultures🌸

Teach, Learn, Share

I can absolutely teach you Japanese language.
I have been playing Japanese bamboo flute for more than 10 years, it can be very loud but I can play some songs if you would like to listen:)
Since we have some Japanese traditional clothes called kimono or yukata(for girls mostly), I can teach you how to wear it👘💓 We can even have a Japanese traditional tea ceremony, wearing kimonos!
