Hi, I’m Yurika from a small town in Japan. I used to be a local newspaper journalist, but now I’m getting ready to study media and development in the UK. I love hearing people’s stories, wandering through nature and exploring a variety of cuisines from around the world . I’m curious, calm, and always up for a good conversation over tea or a walk.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
For me, traveling isn’t just about places—it’s about people. I hope Couchsurfing will give me a chance to meet locals, share stories, and get a feel for everyday life in different parts of the world. I believe that even small moments of connection can leave a deep impact.
Música, películas y libros
Hip-hop, R&B, reggae, and traditional/folk music from around the world. I also play the shamisen and Japanese bamboo flute. Quiet, emotional films and thought-provoking documentaries— like Luca Guadagnino and Ruben Östlund. Mystery and suspense dramas too—like The White Lotus and Babylon Berlin. As to books, I read slowly, but enjoy everything from manga to philosophy when something grabs my attention.
Una cosa increíble que he hecho
Maybe… Wrote a piece on ocean waste as a journalist, and some local kids ended up doing a beach clean-up after reading it. It made me realize that even small stories can inspire action :)
Enseña, aprende, comparte
Always excited to learn about local life, languages, food, and how people see the world where they live.
