Hello!everyone. I'm Michiko, nice to meet you!
I'm cerebral palsy which is a group of physical disorders.
I always use my electric wheelchair wherever I can go.
I've been living in Sapporo and making my independent life.

I cannot stand up, walk, move to somewhere, reach for something... by myself.
I need some helps to cook, change cloths, go to toilet, bed, and so on.
But I have about 13 assistants who work to assist me.
So I can make my decisions of own lives as well as you always do.
I've been enjoying to eat food, take a shower, go shopping, take a break in cafeteria, hang out with friends, go on trip, work, recently grow up vegetables.

I'm not still good at speaking, listening in English, but I've been trying to improve my english skills.
Because I'm going to go to America to study social welfare systems next year.
I like traveling other countries, meeting new friends, and seeing the beautiful places.

If you come to Sapporo, and are interested in me, please try to send message.
Actually, I've never accepted couch surfers.
So I am sorry but I haven't prepared to welcome you in my house yet.
I will be able to meet up somewhere and go out some places that you want to go with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had never met couch surfers before.
I've been thinking that I want to talk with foreigners.
I'd like to exchange languages and tell experiences each other.
