Overview
About Me
About -to-turn-21 college junior currently residing in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Speak intermediate Japanese. Want a cat, preferably brown or grey fur. My commuting time is usually filled with some latest pop jams or soothing audiobooks.
As you get to know me, or as I get to know you better, I may tend to talk and share a lot, but I'd also love to listen to whatever stories you want to share. I think chatting and listening are some of my strengths, and I tend to agree more than I disagree, to sympathize more than I disregard.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Having lived nearly 20 years of my life as a nerd, I want to step out of my comfort zone and expand my connections during each journey.

Music, Movies, and Books
I binged Fleabag around 2 years ago but still couldn't get over its satirical and brilliant scenes. Sometimes I would go on YouTube and rewatch some of the funny scenes to fill myself with laughter during some stressful moments of college grind.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Discovered boba. Just the best drink on earth.
Teach, Learn, Share
(Perk) of learning Japanese is that I have to learn how to read and write Han characters, which I found unbearable at first. It turns out that it has a lot of interesting connections to my mother tongue and other Sinosphere languages, so if you're familiar with or interested in those languages, I can teach you some fascinating facts about them, like how some of the words are similar in pronunciation and meaning. I can also talk about my life as a young expat in Japan, and if the chemistry is right, I can offer some Vietnamese treats that I have brought from home. I would also want to learn and listen to anything you want to share and things about your country that are not popular or well known in the media.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I would love to share with you some of the delicacies from my previous traveling destination or from Hokkaido.
