My name is Takayo or Muskaan ( My Panjabi friend gave me the name which means "smile")

I was born in Nagoya which is the third biggest city in Japan. I lived and worked for a florist and a baker there until 28years old.
After I resighned, I went to Australia and New Zealand and have been there for each 2 years on a working holiday.

I like traveling and meeting new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard this amazing system from my travelmate. I love to meet new friends and know and understand their culture. It'd be great opportunity for me to obtain them.
