Hey there, my name is Stefano, I study architecture in Venice and I will get my degree in march 2026.
Since I've already finished my exams, I now have some free time and I am currently traveling in Japan until December. My goal is to start a master degree in landscape design after my bachelor graduation, that's why my main purpose here is to see and document throughout photos and sketches as many Japanese gardens as possible in order to include this experience in my portfolio. I am now in Tokyo and my main stops will be : Kanazawa, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I subscribed to couch surfing because my older brother, who made great use of it while traveling, recommended it to me. He said it is a really good way to being able to visit the world while establishing great relationships with new and hopefully amazing people!
