Hey, stranger

I’m Louis—
a mix of four heritages product: Japan, China, Kyrgyzstan, and Croatia. I grew up in Graz, Austria from kindergarten, then moved to Canada at 11. I’ve interned with the UN and other international organizations, and now I’m working at an Austrian embassy abroad :D. If you’re into politics, we’ll probably be a great match!

Currently I m living in Kyoto for a while and have my own apartment - and I m doing a solo global trip to 193 countries ! And I m specialist in traveling South America and Central America if you need any tips :)

On a new trip from Japan to the world again :)
(So not able to host until further notice)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“To me, travel is more than just sightseeing—it’s about meeting people along the way. Every conversation, every shared smile with locals brings us closer to truly understanding the world 🌎.”
