I am working as a doctor in nuclear medicine as well as a visual artist. Currently I am travelling throughout the US with an Amtrak Rail Pass. Departed in NYC and headed westbound. My last major stop will be in LA before I return back home. I am vaccinated 3 times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used CS on and off about 15 years ago when I was a student. Unfortunately, all my references disappeared meanwhile. I am happy to share my social media profile, please lmk

Music, Movies, and Books

In my luggage I am carrying Virginia Woolfs The Waves, Joan Didions The Year of Magical Thinking, a New York Times issue and Dan Sickos Techno Rebels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just took the Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle and this has been my longest train ride so far. It was quite exciting to see such a variety of landscapes and be among fellow train travellers for such an extended amount of time. Can't wait to take another ride.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an extremely curious and open minded half Japanese half German human working in two different professional fields. I am always glad and excited about connecting with new people on books, food, art, life concepts, and anything that comes up in conversations.
