We, Katia and Amélie, met during our exchange in Hong Kong University. Since the beginning we became very good friends and decided to travel to Japan this winter. We both talk very good english and we're also learning Chinese. We're interested in learning about Japan's culture, by now we have already visited Hiroshima Kyoto and Osaka. We are staying in Tokyo until the 9th of January.

I'm Katia I'm Mexican and I study Economics in my home university: Universidad de Monterrey. I talk Spanish, English and I'm learning French and Chinese. I enjoy hiking and cycling, as well as cooking and dancing. I once worked as a cook at an Italian restaurant and I danced ballet for 10 years. Next year I will start my internship and dissertation and I graduate in December. I enjoy talking about Finance and FinTech, and learning about History and different cultures.

I´m Amelie, I´m French and I study Law in London, I talk French, English and learning Italian, German and Chinese. I love debating on social issues or politics and just like Katia, I also enjoy hiking and photography, I also practiced Karate for 10 years. I´m really interested to get to know the Japanese culture and more about its history.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
