nice to meet you! My name is Soma! I am currently a fourth year university student attending a university in Hokkaido. I'm currently taking a year off from school and traveling around the world. I want to learn about the world I don't know, and I want to have international exchange with people I meet while traveling and learn about the places I travel to! thank you!

2/25~3/31 In a backpack
Circumnavigating Southeast Asia!

*I wrote that I am studying English, but please understand that I am only able to say a few simple greetings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I wrote above, I started Couchsurfing because I wanted to interact with people while traveling! The reason why I want to interact with people is that when you travel normally, you can enjoy the atmosphere, culture, and cuisine of a place, but I don't think you have many opportunities to interact with local people. Then, when I heard that Couchsurfing allows you to interact with local people, I thought, ``I have no choice but to take advantage of this!'' So I decided to try it out! ! I can only speak Japanese, but I'll make everyone happy!!

Music, Movies, and Books

In addition to Japanese music, I have recently become addicted to Western music and K-pop. (I've only listened to major songs, not minor songs lol)

Also, since the beginning of this year, I've become addicted to watching movies on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

Some of the movies I've seen recently that I found particularly interesting are "Lion," "Train to Busan," "Parasite," "Resident Evil," and "Condition"!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once completed a full marathon of 42.195 km in 4 1/2 hours.

During the spring break of my second year of university, I stayed in Chiang Mai, Thailand for two weeks on an international exchange program.

Traveling around Taiwan in two weeks (half by bicycle, half by train).
