I am an avid learner of the arts and sciences, while also trying to pursue being a worldwide adventurer. My friends call me Kai, and so can you. I am quite the mix of ethnicities, but I usually identify as Japanese/white mix. I grew up in a pretty strict household and was always forced to perform at my best (which actually turned out to be the greatest lesson I have ever learned from my parents). I specialize in freelance photography and videography, but I am best at exploring. I am not one who usually colors within the lines, and enjoy rocking out to my own beat. I try my best to take the path less taken, and strive to perform at my full potential in all situations. Seeing new places and meeting new people is probably my favorite hobby of all time (trying out new foods might contend). Nothing can compare to being with awesome people and eating delicious food though!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to CS, but it seems like a great way to explore the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am going to save this one for that special time...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone how to use a camera? I love sharing what I know, so I can teach anyone what I know, but I am sure anyone can do that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can doing anything that is asked of me, from cooking to cleaning to teaching you something new. Being raised in a Japanese household you learn very quickly that the host is always right.
