Hello, my name is Ariel:)
はじめまして

I love art and nature. Especially the connection between arts and Mother Earth.
From travelling around, I can explore different community art and meeting different people to have culture/language exchange.

I started my journey in Japan since 2018 May.
Keep studying in Japanese and as a beginner Level in spoken Japanese.
I am eager to learn and experience different Japanese cultures and meet new friends

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is my first time to travel alone and exploring CS:)
Kind of going out the comfort zone and it is good to understand myself more.
And then encounter different people and stories in the adventure.
It is always can learn a lesson from travelling.

I hope we can "Carpe Diem" in every moment,
And remember all I saw. Tell it back in the stories when the day is done.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to work in a social enterprise,
which is located in an old and poor distinct,
you can find many elderly there.
What is a day of an elderly?
usually sitting in a park all day,
Talking with other elderly or do nothing until sunset.

I made a shared-area in the corridor which we can enjoy some toys, take the free second-hand item.
Sometime, I set my workplace in corridor, saying hi to everyone who across the corridor.

I don't know whether it is amazing or not,
But if we have a minute to care or greeting others, why not?

Teach, Learn, Share

Also, I can speck in Chinese as well. It will be great that learning different languages through chatting:)
