Hello! I'm Shiho, currently living in Germany.
Learning a language is the beginning of an exciting adventure — why not enjoy that journey together?
[About Me] During a one-year exchange in Germany, I fell in love with the relaxed and mindful lifestyle here—and eventually made the move! I’m now doing my master's in European Culture and Economy in Germany.
I’m a language lover who has studied English, German, French, Swahili, Russian, and Korean. I’ve travelled to China, Thailand, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Slovenia, Portugal, and Peru.
I’m also passionate about nature—my favourite places are Freiburg in Germany, and Cusco and Huaraz in Peru.
