About Me

Hi Im Yohei (pronounced like Yo-Hey) from Japan.

Currently I am taking sabbatical holidays and backpacking around in Europe for about 2 months from Spain to Finland.

I was born and raised in a small town in Japan
but was lucky enough to study abroad in California
and also to work in South Africa.
Also I have traveled over 20 countries.

I love exploring new places, learning about different cultures and meeting with people from over the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be backpacking around in Europe for 2 months till end of May
and would like to save accommodation cost as well as to meet local people.
