My name is Blessing Thomas; I'm from Nigeria and I am currently a 4th year student at APU (Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University) in Japan! I major in Culture, Society and Media under the Social Sciences department. I enjoy reading, traveling places, tasting food and baking, and spending quality time with people. よろしくお願いします！

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a better (and hopefully cheaper!) alternative to booking hostels. Also, I want to meet new people and learn more about their local community.
I hope this will be a great way to improve my Japanese speaking skills and learn much more about its authentic culture.
