ABOUT ME

Hi
I'm from Japan, 30 years old.
I lived in London for a year to study English. Actually I travelled around Europe, instead of going to the school, which was such a precious time. Meeting new people and seeing new things and learning about the countries - I experienced loads of things. I wish I could continue that life but you know, I've got things to do in my country, Japan. So I am working on weekdays. I graduated from university March 2016 and majored in Russian. I really need to practise both English and Russian.
I love museums. I like history but I don't like studying it. (such a problem lol)
I'd love to guide you in my prefecture, Osaka.

my friends tell me that I'm unusual in a good way. I would say that I'm not a typical Japanese. I say what I like or what I don't like. I think I'm extroverted, outgoing, critical, clean and organised.

I am a germ freak and I want you to be CLEAN. I prefer guests don’t eat at my place. I want my guest to take shower everyday before bed and keep themselves clean. I can provide wifi, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothbrush and toothpaste, towels.

PHILOSOPHY

Travelling is worth spending time and money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to help people out. When I was travelling around Europe, I always got hosted via CS and couldn't host anyone cause I didn't have my own place. So I want to do the favour to other people as "Pay It Forward" in Japan.
I would love to do this more often once my boyfriend lives close to me and he feels safe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best experience was surfing with Igor' at Nik and Nadia's couch in Minsk, Belarus. They were really kind and funny. We had a lot of fun and I will never forget the experience there.

Interests

I love the ocean. I have Padi AOW license. I love scuba diving and skin diving. I often go to Okinawa for diving. When I have free time I always clean my room or shopping online. oh of course I love hanging out with my friends. I think my hobby is just travelling but it is getting difficult.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think my experience is not that amazing, but my trip to Ukraine by myself was such a challenge. I didn't have enough money (Ukrainian currency) and some people tried to trick me and people didnt understand English over there. but I managed to visit the tunnel of love. it took me all day long.
Being scammed in India was another “great” experience

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure about Japan so much but I was born and raised in Japan so I guess I know the cultural background and the society
