Hi. My name is Kaoru( sorry! many of you must wounder how you pronounce it... ).
I am from Tokyo, Japan .
I'm a nature and animal lover!
Other than that I love cooking, exploring new places,taking photos, talking with people, listneing to people, geting to know defferent cultures!
It's so amazing to know how diverersed cultures are around the world and that makes the world so colorful and interesting!
Also I admire the beauty of things that nature creates , sometimes it is just breathtaking....
I enjoy my quiet time alone too such as meditating as much as I enjoy socializing with people , I think I need both of them :)

According to my friends I'm friendly , easygoing, kind , smiling, polite, a good listener and a little bit shy at first ....
Once I become your friend , I get loyal because I see my freinds as tresures in life.
I always try to look at the bright side of evertying :)

Now I'm traveling in south Italy for the first time in my life and I totally fell in love with these places!
People are sooo friendly and kind, food is excellent! and scenery is amazingly beautiful!
I wish I could speak Italian better!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are so many beautiful places in the world which is a shame not to experience by myself!
Now I go to many places but one thing that makes a journey special and unforgettable is people there for sure.
I want to meet new people and know their real life since I spent most of my life in Tokyo, Japan and don't know the way people live in other places. I'm really interested in it.It's always inspiring for me.
I think Couchsurfing is a one of the good ways to do it!
