Hello my name is Dere. I am an upbeat creator, entrepreneur, author and doctoral candidate. When I am not working on business, you can find me traveling the world, working out, or trying out local restaurants. Currently in Japan looking to meet locals, or other travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing with my sister because we are looking for ways to network and make new friends during our travels. We have been traveling around the world for 90+ days and although it's nice to stay at hotels and other accommodations, we love seeing new places from a more local perspective. We also love the learning experience Couchsurfing provides. We learn more about other cultures, experiences and most importantly we learn more about ourselves.
