Hi, こんにちは, bonjour, hej 😃
I'm a college student studying Linguistics and French at a university in the U.S. Born in Japan and lived there for 10 years before moving to the U.S. with my family. I had my first study abroad experience in 2016 at Nantes, France and fell in love with traveling, so that's why I am here!
Looking for inspirations. Right now I mostly use CS to surf due to my living arrangement, but in the future I would love to become a host and give something back to the community :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I did a homestay in Nantes, France for 6 weeks--absolutely LOVED staying with a local. I'm hoping to develop connections and make friends with people from all around the world :) I love talking about languages, linguistics, cooking/baking, music, and having conversations about life with interesting people.
