Hi, I'm Wendy and love people, languages and culture!

I'm originally from the Netherlands, but have been living in Japan for 4 years now.
After working for a big and strict Japanese corporation, I decided to do crazy and quit my job to search for a next adventure. I'm creative, open-minded and social. I love to learn about your background and culture and exchange our experiences.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing, but I'd like to try out new experiences. I just quit my job in Japan and am looking for a new adventure. I believe traveling on low budget and staying with local people gives the best cultural experience. I'd love to talk with people who live in the country I visit, make good connections and in return I can offer you a place to stay at my house in the future (not sure where that will be yet though - haha).
