Hi, there! I'm interested in meeting and talking with people from all over the world. I like being in a foreign country and walking a lot/getting lost to discover new places. Since I’m interested in photography and traveling, I’m currently working on a project where I listen to stories of people’s lives (could be anything like travel stories or some random things like what you like) and take photos of people to make a photo zine. So I’d like to talk to people from all over the world. It doesn’t matter if we can get along well or not (I hope we can), what you’ve experienced in your life is definitely different than mine and I’m interested in that. Hope you’d tell me some of your stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people! So I can experience and discover things I don’t know yet!
Interested in getting to know people who have experienced whole different things than I have.

It’s been great since I’ve started actually using Couchsurfing since 2017. I get to meet new people and get to know their lives. I hope to meet more people and meet up with the people I’ve met here again someday!

Interests

I like movies, photography, art, football, traveling and just walking around aimlessly.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are interested in Japan or Japanese language, maybe I can share it with you!
And I love movies! Maybe I know some movies made in your country:)
If you like taking pictures or being taken your pictures, let's go out and shoot some photos!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I shoot photos with my film camera. If you want, I can take your pictures and send you scanned files of the photos! I can teach you some Japanese words and give you some travel tips for Japan.
I might be able to cook some Japanese food if there’s some essential ingredients. Also if you need some help with your house like doing the dishes, I’ve got hands for you.
