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!!
