I am half Japanese and Dutch, currently living in Berlin, Germany and sharing a flat with 4 other people. I recently quit my job as a physiotherapist and am looking for a new profession/vocation in the field of nature education. My passion is to travel. I enjoy getting to know other people's lives/lifestyles and to learn from them, esp those who live in accordance to nature with few needs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I love about CS is that it is based on (first of all: common sense and) trust, an open heart, respect and the wish to share and contribute to another person's well-being (with a hint of curiosity). I have had many memorable experiences being hosted by people in different countries and feel thankful for this.

Interests

I like.. hanging out with friends but also being alone, traveling and exploring the world (inside and out), being in nature, hiking, cycling, rock-climbing, yoga... or simply gaze into the sky and do nothing :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A trip on a bicycle from Berlin to South East Asia

Teach, Learn, Share

Well. I could teach you some Japanese, how to cook a Miso soup (provided we find the ingredients), Yoga and hopefully some little things that I wasn't aware that I was sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Actually, all my CS experiences have been different from each other and I find it beautiful not to be able to tell beforehand what we are going to share.
