Native Standard Hello, I'm a senior studying Education at U-M! I love to travel, cook, bake, do pottery, read, and watch movies and TV shows. I'm currently planning a trip to the Netherlands so if you have any recommendations, please let me know! I've been obssessed with taiga dramas from NHK that comes from my interests in Japanese history. During my free time, I like to go to cute cafes and order matcha lattes with a cute pastry on the side. :) Female Ayuka Kodama

Hello! I’m a visiting scholar from a Japanese insurance company, currently researching business administration and economics. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Economics and have worked in international business, especially in Southeast Asia. I’m here to improve my English and start learning Spanish as a new challenge. I can help you learn Japanese—feel free to reach out if you’re interested! I love traveling (I've visited around 25 countries), baseball, mountain climbing, and exploring art museums. If you enjoy travel, I’d be happy to share tips and experiences as a backpacker. Looking forward to exchanging languages and connecting with you! Male YUTO HINO
