Hello, I am Yumiko. I was born and spent 20-ish years in Tokyo, Japan. I did one year exchange study in Sydney in Australia. And from 2018, I live and work in Tallinn, Estonia.

I like staying at home and travelling spontaneously. I'm more-chill-at-home-than party-outside person. I like blogging, watching youtube, and petting cats.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not?:)
I want to meet and hear stories of people who live in different cities and probably lead a very different life from mine.
I have travelled alone before and always enjoyed hearing a lot of interesting stories from people I meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went to Uluru in Australia. That is the most "wow wow wow" moment in my life. I constantly said "this view is amazing" during the trip, although I rarely say so in any other travel destinations. Along with other travellers, my friend and I stayed outside with a sleeping bag. We heard wild dogs barking...scary but was nothing similar to other experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Japanese language, and how to cook Japanese food :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my story (how come I ended up in Estonia from Tokyo etc.). I'll try it to be not boring :)
