About Me

Hi there 🌏👋
I’m a Japanese traveler with a love for adventure 🇯🇵

In 2025, I took a gap year and spent three months traveling across Europe. Through this journey,
I encountered diverse cultures and many different ways of life, which profoundly changed how I see the world and how I want to live.

Now, I dream of a simple, free-spirited life: living in the Japanese countryside, practicing self-sufficiency, creating my own books, and setting off on new journeys whenever I save enough money.

More than going to a top university, I truly believe that travel is one of the greatest way of learning.
I love to think deeply, and every encounter gives me a new hint, a new perspective to reflect on.

As long as someone does not impose their values on others, I remain open-minded and choose to accept everything with positivity.

I carry both “typically Japanese” and “atypically Japanese” sides within me. If you can sense both, then I believe we are already good friends 🤝

⭐️ I don’t smoke
⭐️ I’m not very strong with alcohol
⭐️ I’m not a fan of noisy places
⭐️ I’m not seeking romantic or sexual relationships

I eat all kinds of food, but I deeply respect vegans and vegetarians. I respect other people’s customs and all kinds of values!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a solo female traveler, I sometimes have uncomfortable experiences, but it’s an amazing platform that makes my journey even more meaningful and valuable!

everything…??

>>> Being interested in all kinds of people means, in a way, that I’m interested in everything that people can be interested in !!

I want to live a life where I continue to explore everything with a constantly innocent and curious heart!

My favorite phrase is: “Live a life like a movie!”🎬

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all kinds of music—whether it’s quiet, gentle genres like those found in Ghibli films or intense rock music. If something resonates with me, I like it. In the end, it really depends on my mood…

I love singing songs that blend naturally into the scenery, so sometimes I sing while watching like the sunset or the sea. I’m also practicing the guitar!

I watch anime more often than movies, but when I watched Perfect Days in Italy, it truly changed the way I see life. If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them—any genre is welcome 🙌

Even though I want to write my own book, I don’t actually read that much. I’m especially not good with practical or self-help books that are overloaded with information. However, I do love deep, thoughtful books that even children can read—like The Little Prince.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After dedicating nearly 15 years of my life to soft tennis since childhood, I made the decision to step away and set off on a journey!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love local experiences, and I want to improve my English, so I’d be really happy if we could interact and spend time together a lot ☺️
