About Me

Need to get out of my comfort zone! I haven't had the chance to travel in a long while, and decided to take sabbatical for one month (Oct-Nov 2016).
Looking for good company to chat with over some yummy grub, and if we get along I hope I can stay for the night.

Enjoys a pinch of sarcasm. Hungry to meet new friends... hit me up if you're a foodie lost in Tokyo :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Will be traveling across Europe using the 1 month Eurail pass. Hoping to see, hear, taste, and enjoy all the cities I'll be heading to. Please let me know if you're open to let a curious Japanese girl stay for the night, or even just to show her around.
This may sound a bit irresponsible, but I'm not planning anything in each place, but rather just playing it by the ear while asking locals for tourism tips. So please do let me know go-to attractions in your city!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
