About Me

I'm new to Hiroshima! Just moved here as an exchange student and I'm staying for one semester.
I'm in my last year of my International Business undergrad studies, and I'm writing my undergrad thesis about startups in Japan. If you know of a Japanese startup, I would be really happy to get in touch!
Other than that, I'm an urban person - I love living in the city. I also like to escape the city and go for a hike, or do some water sports (like surfing) in the summer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet interesting people in Hiroshima and make friends!
