Hi! I’m Karen :) Nice to meet you! I spent 3 beautiful years on a remote tropical island in southern Japan & traveled for the past year. Now, I’ll be headed to New Zealand for some time! Though I will no longer be able to host for the time being, I’d love to meet up & be hosted from time to time.

NOTE: in a happy relationship - please do not make any advances toward me, as this is not a dating app.

I'm open minded, easy going, optimistic, value the little things, absolutely love socializing with people, but also appreciate stillness, as well as being alone from time to time. Cooking is definitely one of my love languages and I would love to share recipes and try new foods! I also prefer to spend my time in nature, go hiking & swimming, cycle, read, drink tea, take photos, people watch, play card games, watch the sunrise/sunset, & learn. I’d also like to incorporate more creativity & art in my everyday life!

I'm a big believer in the power of community, so I would love to build that on here and have friends from all over the world! Looking forward to meeting you!
