Hi everyone!
I'm Yoshino from Japan.
I usually live in Tokyo, but I'm currently living in Tainan, Taiwan, until March 2025.

I'm really excited about my first solo trip to Egypt at the end of this year!
I'd love to meet fellow travelers or locals to share a meal, chat, or explore together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When learning a language, I believe it’s essential to understand the local history and culture, as these are what shape the language itself. While visiting famous landmarks is certainly enjoyable, what I cherish most are the moments when locals share little glimpses of their daily lives with me.

I also love connecting with locals to discover things I don’t yet know!
On top of that, I’m a big fan of café hopping and dream of finding a favorite café in every place I travel to.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music I listen to various songs on Spotify.
Movie I love A24 distributed films, Tolkien's films, Guillermo del Toro's films, and horror films.
Book I mainly read non-fiction, but when it comes to fiction, I have a soft spot for mystery and suspense. That said, *The Hobbit* and *The Lord of the Rings* hold a special place in my heart.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm studying some foreign languages and history.
I'm interested in Greek and Latin, French.....too much:)

I use this app not so much to learn, but out of a desire to know and explore.
We live in an age where almost anything can be found through a quick search, yet the perspectives of people living in different places and the wisdom of the past are incredibly diverse.
Realizing that the world is full of unknowns and is anything but boring brings me a deep sense of happiness.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories from my travels, my experiences with relocating, and, of course, all about Japan.
I also love hearing about how people from other countries perceive Japan.
It’s always fascinating to discover perspectives and impressions that even I, as a Japanese person, hadn’t considered before!
