Hi! I'm Alexa, currently studying at University of Tokyo to get my Masters in Bioengineering. My family is from Venezuela, but I've lived in the US most of my life. I love Japanese culture and want to learn as much as I can while I'm here! I'm all about avoiding tourist-traps and really into local sights, so I think couch surfing is a good way to see what's up :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know and make friends around Japan! I would like to practice my Japanese as well as learn more about the culture and people here :)
