Hello, this is Haruko Takahashi. I'm a student in Las Vegas and studying management. I like to travel all over the world. I speak Japanese, English, and a little Spanish. I like to learn new things includes languages, cultures, and so on. I like to play the piano and swimming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend who uses couchserfing taught me this, so I join the couch surfing. He is my best friend, and he shows his wonderful experiences all over the world with couchserfers. when he told me about couch surfing, I was like this is what i wanted to do!! so I would like to meet new people and to have great time with them.

Interests

My interests are talking with people, walking around, and leaning something new. I'm interested in many things, but I don't like roller coasters. This is the one that i can't have fun, but except this, I want to try many things. I also like cooking, so I like to learn other country's traditional food. I'm pretty sure interesting many things, so I'm open mind for everything!! NO ROLLER COASTER though.

I used to watch tv shows, such as How did I met your mother and Castle. well, I like Netflix!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One Amazing thing I've done in my life was to decide to live in America. I was going to school in Japan, but I felt like something wrong, so I followed my heart, and decided to come here as a student. There are many difficult situations for me, but there are more amazing things in America. Meeting new people is one of my favorite things, and also sharing experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Japanese, and Japanese culture to everyone because after i got here, finally I could be proud of being Japanese. Japan has unique culture, so many people think it's kinda weird, but I want them to know and have right or correct informations of Japan. I learned how people are nice and kind through traveling because even I can't speak their language, they helped me when I needed. Isn't it wonderful? so I want to help and share with couchserfers .
