Hello my name is Yuka and I am a very easygoing and open person who gets along with almost anyone and is always up for an adventure. Learning about local culture, especially the food is a huge passion of mine/

I would describe myself as relaxed and especially since when I travel my plans don’t always work out, I try and just see where each new day takes me. I am always looking to meet new people I hope that all of my Couchsurfing experiences, for both me and my host/surfer, are effortless.

Really being happy, surrounding myself with good thought provoking people and having delicious food are what I seek and hope to give in return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that traveling is about seeing the tourist sights, but it is also about learning what local people do and how they have fun, spend their time, and live. I am very interested in learning about cultures in this more interactive personal way and I hope to make friends and wonderful memories. I believe truly in human goodness and so far all my Couchsurfing experiences have only reinforced that belief.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to bake and cook and am open to learning about almost anything! A person can always learn something new from someone else and I am always delighted when someone can change the way I view the world and open my mind a little more.

Some good conversations and a lot of energy for travel and living a wonderful life.
