I am a 20 year old half Japanese half Australian International Business and Law student.
Although I was born in Japan, I moved to Aus when I was just 4, so my Japanese ability is limited to colloquial speak. I am hoping to become more fluent!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning to spend November 2015 until March 2016 (my summer holidays) in Japan travelling, working, and meeting new friends.

I will probably just rent a house in Tokyo during my stay, but would love to meet likeminded people until I find suitable accommodation.

Reading/learning, travel, FOOD, adventuring/exploring, trying new things, architecture and interior design, the outdoors and being active (e.g hiking, waterfall canyoning etc), Bikram yoga

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In April 2015 I went to Indonesia, and spent a few days climbing Mount Rinjani on Lombok Island.
It was the most difficult experience I have ever gone through. The hike was over 2 days, but I was in terrible pain for weeks after it. I recommend amateur climbers to start with something easier!!
