I traveled 5 continents by bicycle, and am writing these experiences now.

𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕 ! Welcome to my page✨ My name is Anju 👩🏻‍🦱🇯🇵 I’m a friendly, curious, easy-going, calm, and adventurous person who loves traveling! Starting in January 2026, I’m traveling solo around the world. This journey feels like the second chapter of my life, and I have very special feelings about it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given up my stable job. I’m so excited to finally step out of my comfort zone and embark on an adventure I’ve always dreamed of🌏🎒 I hope to move to another country outside Japan within 1-2 years, but I’m still in the process of discovering who I am. To help with that, I use Couchsurfing — I want to meet people from all over the world, hear their stories, gain new perspectives, and enrich my life. I love exploring new cultures, trying different foods, and connecting with locals to experience the authentic vibe of each place. All of these bring me so much joy ♥️ ⚠️Safety note: For safety reasons, I usually don’t stay with or meet people who have fewer than 10 references or no references from female surfers. I’m quite small and not physically strong, so I try to be cautious and set clear boundaries in advance. I’ve had some uncomfortable experiences in the past when I was in vulnerable situations, which is why safety is very important to me. I hope you understand that this is not personal. By the way, i don’t drink Alcohol. I also receive many messages every day, so I reply selectively and thoughtfully. Thank you very much for your understanding 🌱

CURRENT MISSION To unite diverse voices so we can serve and celebrate life together. ABOUT ME I have been an International Coordinator out of Tokyo for the past 10+ years and have guided cross cultural educational exchanges around the world for high school and university students. Some trips have been to Belize, Costa Rica, Haiti, India, Martinique, France, Utah, Nevis/St.Kitts, Peru, Puerto Rico, Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania and most recently, Cuba! Sometimes I am a performing artist, singing and acting on stage. I love languages and speak French, Bambara, intermediate Spanish, beginning Japanese and dabble in other languages. I have worked over the years in positive youth development, non-violent communication and even environmental awareness in West Africa, India, the Bay Area of San Francisco. In SF, my teaching was complimented with live musical performances for over a decade using the accordion and performing with other educators. I like to swim, snorkel, scuba, run, bike, hike, dance, ski and snowboard. I was a Rotary World Peace Fellow in Tokyo, a volunteer with the U.S. Peace Corps in Mali, West Africa, and a team leader in AmeriCorps N-Triple-C in Washington, D.C. In the past I have taught English in France, Taiwan and currently in Japan and I have enjoyed volunteering in Sri Lanka as part of my thesis research, along with study and volunteering which took place in Peru in the Cuzco area and also within the community of Infierno in Puerto Maldonado within the Amazon basin. PHILOSOPHY Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you. Strive to enjoy life as much as possible and seek to be engaged, active and learning all the time. Collaborate with others on adventures of a lifetime, make new personal and professional discoveries, projects and find friends that fuel your soul (a challenge for me lately). Creativity and sharing always adds to the beautiful colors of our lives.

Hi, my name is Yoshikazu Ryuno. I lived in Tokyo and moved to Chiba city. It is about 40 minutes from Tokyo, Asakusa and Akihabara to my house. I'm a researcher(so called MSL) in Pharmaceutical company. But I work at remotely almost everyday, because MSL doesn’t work at laboratory. I hope to enjoy talk and meet many people in all over the world. If you come to Tokyo, I will welcome you.
