I am a PhD student at Osaka University, and currently doing research in Saarbrucken, Germany. My research involves augmented reality, user interfaces, and computer vision. I am fluent in both Japanese and English, and have traveled to quite a few different countries.

I'm very laid back, and enjoy good conversation about travel. Though I'm new to couchsurfing, I think you'll find me to be a very clean and friendly person!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently looking for a place to stay from January to March in Saarbrucken, Germany. I will be studying and working at the DFKI lab at Saarland University, so somewhere near the city or university would be great! I would be happy to pay for my stay (anywhere from 200-500 euro depending on the room).

Thanks and feel free to contact me any time!
