About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn French, Explore Europe!

ABOUT ME
I am currently taking a French course in Lille, France, enjoying a new start in Europe, and meeting new people. I went to Japan to pursue my study in university when I was 20, and I ended up living in Japan for 8 years, including two years of working and a gap year. After I returned to my hometown for a year, I decided to depart to France by following my intuition. I am a rather introvert person at the starting point, but will slowly become a talkative person if we started to know each other. By the experience of my volunteer, I am pretty sure that I am a person that is easily to get along with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couchsurf several time in Japan and it was an amazing experience! I love to listen to the stories of the others because I think that there are always something for me to learn! Chatting with the locals is the best way to understand the place, culture and etc. Now, I am looking forward to couchsurf in Europe to discover the people and the place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was volunteering myself as an international students advisor for 2 years when I studied in a university in Japan, to help the exchange students who are new in Japan by aiding them doing the procedure of City hall, bank account and also giving advise and helping them to solve their problem of daily life in Japan. I got to know many friends through this volunteer and we still keep in touch with each other until now, which I think is the biggest reward!
