Hello :)

I'm 26 years old and I'm from Japan.
I've been using Couchsurfing since 2018, especially when I was in university.

At the moment I'm in a new chapter:
I quit my job last year and I moved to a new city. I'm studying at ceramics research laboratory.

I used to be an international order processing using the SAP system in a dental equipment company based in Switzerland, and worked for 2 years in Tokyo.

Since 2017, I've keep learning pottery and I have made a sales in Taiwan after 3 years. It was a small, tiny amount but I thought I would be happiest if I could build my career as a ceramic artist, even it's a side hustle and here I am in Arita!

I think people I met through traveling, especially people I met at this community motivating me to have a guts to do what I love to do and I am very thankful to pushing me to where I am now 😊

I am outdoor fun, love to dance, drawing and singing, hiking, swimming and I would like to change surfing this summer!

I'm tall, clean and very curious person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I look back at my traveling history, the memorable experience is when I meet locals and learn about their culture and their stories, their life experiences through Couchsurfing.

They all give good vibes.

I love to learn about little things that aren't in a guide book from like-minded fellows :)

I learned a lot from new people and hopefully upcoming fellows will learn from me too.
