Hey there! I'm Yuki, a 27-year-old calligraphy artist. I quit my job in June 2023 and have been solo-traveling around Europe since July to December. Now I’m on my journey all around the world for few years since May.

Can you believe I had only 50 euros in my bank when I arrived in Europe last year? I've been supporting myself by selling my calligraphy arts on the streets, which I started doing way back in 7 years old.

So I’m living with my art. I’m so interested in art and also I’m looking for some places where I can have an exhibition or some artist can collaborate with.

And I like taking pictures, being taken too. I make contents on social media, so I love sharing my experiences.

I might not come across as your typical Japanese person, but I'm totally in love with the vibes and cultures abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really curious about different ways of life (lifestyle). I prefer putting myself in the local culture rather than staying in hotels.

I enjoy sharing cultures and exchanging experiences. I'm quite intrigued by lifestyles, so I really love talking about local cuisines and stuff like that!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to send you some of my artwork as a gift! I'll write your name using Japanese kanji. And if it works out, I'm up for cooking dinner together and digging into some local eats! Learning local food is something I really enjoy!
