Berkeley grad and ex-consultant from the San Francisco Bay Area. Recently quit my job and moved to Tokyo to start my own business.

I spent the best 4 years of childhood in Nagasaki and spent 2 years in China before moving to the States.

Looking to make local friends or exploring with folks from abroad!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've found meeting new people to be both rewarding and difficult after school life. Would love to show people around and have the same in another country.
