Student from Japan

Hi! My name is Akari Sugano.
I'm a PhD student from Japan, and I’ll be staying in Glasgow for about three months (from around July 20 to October 20) for a research visit at the University of Glasgow.

On weekdays, I’ll be going to the university, and on weekends I hope to explore the city. This will be my first time in Scotland — and in Europe — so there’s still a lot I don’t know, but I’m excited to learn and experience new things.

My hobbies are traveling and trying new food. Since I'm doing my PhD in chemistry, I’m always happy to talk about science and research. I really enjoy chatting with people, though I’m not very into big parties.

My English is good enough for daily conversations, though I might not understand everything perfectly — but I’m eager to keep learning and improving!
And of course, I’d be happy to share lots about Japanese culture too.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
