Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve just started this app since December 2018. I knew this app, couchsurfing, but I was a bit afraid. One of my friend recommended to use this service, because the best way to understand local things more than hostel.
So I like to know local different cultures, languages, customs, and foods) this is the food chance to know about local things and have a world wide friends)
But I’ve never hosted yet, because currently I’m in St,Petersburg as an exchange student from Japan. When I come back to Japan, I’m gonna host)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to some AFRICAN counties. Especially in Mozambique, helped kids who don’t have houses, parents and so on. That was good experience to know local situations in Africa. After that, I went to Cape Town to do Skydiving:) I think, this experience is the amazing thing I’ve done before. If you haven’t skydived, you should do))

Teach, Learn, Share

Fluently I can speak Japanese, English, and Russian. And also, I can introduce myself in 21 languages. As you know, I really like to study foreign languages!
