Hello! I am in the final year of doing my research for my PhD. I am travelling in Japan for 5 weeks and I'm really keen to meet people along the way. I'm so excited about learning and experiencing Japanese culture. I'm looking to explore art, food, music, and nature. I am friendly, chatty, respectful and generally quite a positive person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travelled in South America in 2017 and I loved couch surfing, I got to meet so many amazing people who welcomed me into their homes and it was a totally different experience to going to hostels. I really enjoyed being recommended local places to go to, spending time with hosts, and sharing stories.
