Hello there, I'm Ash, originally from Sri Lanka now living in New Zealand. I'm a Cloud Network Engineer by profession at Amazon Web Services ! I've recently started solo traveling and I'm loving every moment of it. My first trip was to Tokyo, Japan, in 2023, and I instantly fell in love with the culture, especially the food, people, history and love the anime and manga pop culture as well. Now, I'm eager to explore more of Japan, from its food to its travel hotspots, and I can't wait to make new friends along the way.
I have traveled to Japan very often since 2023 this will probably my 5th visit come July 2025 🙂

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing isn't just about finding a place to crash; it's about connecting with like-minded individuals and locals eager to share their experiences. For me, it's a gateway to cultural immersion and forging meaningful connections. Whether it's swapping travel stories, experiencing daily life together, or simply exploring the city hand in hand, Couchsurfing offers a unique platform to make new friends and learn the local language along the way.
