We are a Spanish and Mexican couple living in Kyoto, Japan.

My name is Carlos, I was born in Sevilla, Spain. And since 2015, live in Japan, where I originally came as Japanese Government Student. Nowadays, I work as a business specialised freelance translator from Japanese to Spanish, a profession which allow me to work while traveling the world.

I have a wide interest for different cultures and international exchange, and I have traveled to more than 41 countries.

My husband, Danniel, is born in Oaxaca, Mexico. He is a contemporary dancer and he worked for some years in a coworking and innovation space in Oaxaca, Mexico. A profession, which made him to welcome travellers around the world.

We love to make new connections and meeting interesting people.

We are based in Kyoto, Japan, where I have an apartment (70 m2), with a guest room (individual bed) which we can offer for a few days stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are willing to meet new people and to make fruitful connections. We both are native in Spanish, and I am fluent in English and Japanese. If you are traveling to Kyoto, and are around our age range, you can write us.

As we just started on Couch Surfing, we feel more comfortable hosting men LGBT travelers.

But, if after reading our profile, you think we could get along, we are open to host any person regardless of gender or orientation! We are always willing to meet new interesting people!

Apart from hosting you, we can show you around Kyoto from a local perspective.
