I moved to Japan in 2024 as an English teacher. I also do stand-up comedy and started Kansai Comedy; a fortnightly open mic night in Osaka. Previously I leant into social and environmental entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainability, systemic design and circular economics. I'm always planning my next adventure in Japan or abroad... I enjoy meeting new people and sharing life stories and a laugh. I've met some awesome people through CS and I'd love to keep meeting more!

Sorry, I may not be accepting couchsurfers at this time. So sorry… READ “MY PROFILE” and “My Home RULE” BEFORE SEND A REQUEST to stay in my place... FYI : please don’t ask to stay for more than 3 NIGHTS, because I’m the one who decides who can stay longer according to my conscience. I work early morning (4am), sorry if my alarm will bother you… I prefer experienced CSer but I don't rule out new members who want to stay.. At least you know what CS is, you can open this to read https://blog.couchsurfing.com/the-7-deadly-sins-of-couchsurfing/ and don’t send me copy-paste request. For COUCHSURFERS who ask to stay at my place, after your stay has been confirmed, please confirm your arrival date and contact me as soon as possible if you don’t come. If you don't show up without telling me, that's too bad for other couchsurfers who need a place to stay. CURRENT MISSION I’m addicted to travelling abroad, and have a passion to travel the wold... #lol... Of course everyone say like that ABOUT ME I am Indonesian. Now I’m living alone in Osaka, Japan. So simple, right. But life is not that simple, Life has been teaching me to think twice before make decision. I'm a single mom with 2 colleger kids (21&20). But now, we live separately, I’m in Japan and they’re in my country. I let them live far away from me to make their strong character, and become their BFF to know what's inside their heart and mind, become a mom when they need hugs. Teach my kids about a hard life they'll face later. Family is everything to me, they give me all supports I need and spirit of life. But, It’s time to step forward leaving my comfort zone, because the world is so big and I want to see all. Let’s explore the world. PHILOSOPHY ASPIRE to INSPIRE before you EXPIRE ... You have plenty of time to explore different paths to enrich your understanding of both yourself and your surrounding world. Do not measure yourself against other people's limited thinking.

Hello, I’m Miyu from Japan 🇯🇵 Traveling around the world is my passion!! So far, I have been to 53 countries, and have live in Canada, Mexico and England 🇨🇦🇲🇽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 It makes my world trip even better when I get to meet local people and learn their cultures 😆 I think it’s actually the best thing about traveling! After a year of solo trip in 2025, I’m back to Japan 🇯🇵 I used to live in Tokyo but freshly starting new life in Osaka ☺️ I’d love to meet both travelers and locals! I have a YouTube channel to share about my trips around the world especially to help people figuring out “how to” and show a bit of local side of the countries I visit. This is my passion :) Check out if you want! https://youtube.com/@miyutravel I also have Instagram @miyu.traveler *I don’t answer DM on Instagram, please contact me through couch surfing I’m looking forward to talking with you and getting to know the culture or just exchange stories from different backgrounds!

I am currently studying computer science in Hungary, having come from Japan. Winter break has started, and I am going to France to visit some famous places! But as a student, I don’t have much money… maybe also because of the weak yen due to Japan’s economic stagnation. If possible, please let me stay! Even a sofa is fine. Otherwise, I have no choice but to sleep in a park…!!! As a thank you, I can give you a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure sticker! The time has come to show the spirit of a samurai!! Je suis actuellement en Hongrie pour étudier l’informatique, je viens du Japon. Les vacances d’hiver ont commencé et je vais en France pour visiter quelques lieux célèbres ! Mais en tant qu’étudiant, je n’ai pas beaucoup d’argent… peut-être aussi à cause de la faiblesse du yen due à la stagnation économique du Japon. Si possible, pouvez-vous m’héberger ? Même un canapé me conviendrait. Sinon, je n’ai pas d’autre choix que de dormir dans un parc… !!! En remerciement, je peux vous offrir un autocollant de JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure ! Le moment est venu de montrer l’esprit d’un samouraï !!

Am willing to meet people who grew up in other cultures and I want here some stories, jokes that you have had on your journey. Can take you around Osaka. Which is like Osaka Castle that is only 10 minutes from my place. Please feel free to contact me thx. If you are requesting for more than one person, please send me the CS profile link of the other people. My wife and I are always welcome to accommodate you.

Hi! I’m a passionate traveler based in Kobe, currently preparing for a 3-month trip across 3 countries in Europe (including Spain!) starting in two months. Before I head out on my own adventure, I’d love to welcome international travelers to my hometown as a host/local guide! I’m originally from Nagoya, but I fell so deeply in love with Kobe that I actually relocated here 6 months ago! 🙇‍♀️Since I live in a sharehouse, I can’t offer a place to sleep, but I’d love to share my love for this city and offer you a rich, authentic local experience instead! What I Can Share / Why Hang Out With Me • 🏯History Buff (Devoted to Japanese History!): Japanese history was my absolute favorite subject in school (I used to score in the top 2% nationwide!). If you’re curious about shrines, samurai, or the story behind Kobe, I’ve got endless stories to share. • 🚃47 Prefectures Explorer: I’ve traveled to all 47 prefectures in Japan. I know the hidden gems, local foods, and unique vibes across the country, so I’m happy to help you with your Japan travel plans! • 🗣️A Fresh & Passionate Local Guide: As someone who recently moved here out of pure love for the city, I can show you Kobe through the fresh eyes of a fellow traveler. My English is basic, but my passion for sharing culture is 100%! Let’s Hang Out! If you’re coming to Kobe and want to explore the city, taste good food, or dive into Japanese history with a local friend, hit me up! I’d love to show you around over a cup of coffee or a walk through the city. Can’t wait to meet you! 🎌✨

I really love traveling and have traveled to many countries 🌍✨The experiences and people I meet there are treasures 🥹 I look forward to meeting people who can share those experiences through CS ! ! I am deeply grateful and respectful to those who have developed and run this app 🙏 Please feel free to contact me. However, please check the details below ↓↓↓ ⚠️⚠️⚠️ However, there are more than a few people using this app with impure thoughts, unfortunately … If you are using this app with such impure feelings, especially sexual feelings, please don't send me a message … There are many other such apps in the world .
