My name is Fumi. I am Japanese, but I consider myself that I am a citizen of the world! I am interested in learning other cultures as many people here on Couchsurfing. I did the round-the-world trip twice, once in 2013-2014 and the second time in 2018. Couchsurfing has changed my life and the way I travel!! I used to live in Mexico, so I can speak some Spanish! Now I decided to settle down in Ho Chi Minh City for a while.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I found about "Couchsurfing", when I was searching information for traveling around the world. I noticed that those travelers using this platform were enjoying the time with local people. So that's how I‘ve started to use CS. And so far I have a lot of great experiences! My hosts would suggest places where are not written in the guidebooks. So I could go to places where only local people would go. Also, they introduced friends and family who I wouldn't be able to meet if I stay in hostels or hotels.

Teach, Learn, Share
I love to learn other cultures and customs, so that is one of the reasons I like to travel. I can share my stories, and I would love to hear your stories! Also, I would like to try food which is only special in the local area! I am into food and my curiosity goes to eating part! If possible, in return I will share dishes which I can cook!

My Interests
eating cuisines from different countries, doing yoga, reading books, thinking about my next trip
