About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to learn from different kinds of people and create fun experiences and memories!

ABOUT ME

I'm going to be a 4th year, studying biological engineering at MIT. In my free time I like to hang out with friends. Anytime the weather is good (it's not very common in Boston) I like to go out for a short run or walk and shop around in the city. If I've had a really rough week I like to just relax and watch TV or sleep.

PHILOSOPHY

By nature I am a timid person but I try to come out of my shell by experiencing new things and meeting people. I think the best way to learn about yourself and grow as a person is getting out of one's comfort zone and go to places and do things you've never done before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the summer I'm living in Akihabara, a region in Tokyo. I can't host anyone unfortunately but it'd be great to meet someone and do a language exchange!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet!

Interests

Since I'm in Japan I really want to improve my Japanese.
I recently started to learn karate and love how it's good for the body and mind.
An old hobby of mine is graphic design. I could never draw that well but I could spend forever on Photoshop.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading fantasy and mystery. I haven't really read in a while though, only textbooks :(

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to teach the languages I know or the interests that I have. I feel like I know a lot about Eastern culture but not that much about Western culture. So I'd love to learn more about Europe and travel there!
