I have lived in Japan for more than four years and learned more from life abroad than I ever did in school.
I have not traveled extensively yet but would like to rectify that as soon as possible.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

A couple of years ago I heard about couch surfing from a friend and all the great experiences he had through it. I wanted to get involved but the place I had at the time was too small to host. After moving back to Hiroshima from Tokyo, I have a much roomier pace!

Rules for couch surfers:
- No smoking, or loud music late after 10:30.
- Let me know what time you will arrive at what time you will leave.
- Be respectful and polite
- Please ask before using things, unless I say it’s ok. (Then you don’t have to keep asking.)

What guests get:
- Access to their own space with closable sliding doors
- Use of kitchen, shower, washing machine, WiFi and living/guest room.
- A memory foam mattress with blankets/ and soon pillow.
- Friendly atmosphere, your own personal space so you can do your own thing.
- Boatloads of advice on Japanese culture and language if you want it, and info on things to do in Hiroshima city (I work as an interpreter/ translator.)
