CURRENT MISSION

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Allow the unexpected to happen.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that life is a train not a station, so it's important to keep moving. Traveling is a way for your soul to continue it's journey. Most importantly, it provides perspective on everything in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Osaka, Higashi Umeda. I speak Japanese and enjoy learning about other cultures. 日本語が話せます。

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in several places to include Brazil, Holland, and Ireland. I first tried it in Brazil because I had no one to spend New Year's Eve with. I had a hotel for several days, but ended up spending several amazing days in Serra, Brasil :). It's all about exchanging good vibes with people of different experiences.

Interests

I enjoy traveling very much and believe people make the experience, not the place.

• tourism

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all types of music, especially Reggae, House, Hip-Hop, and Oldies.
Books are knowledge,and I have too many favorites to name. Some of my most memorable ones are Shantaram, Slaughterhouse Five, the Autobiography of Malcolm X, and Papillon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel like I've seen many amazing things. Amazing, however, can be something as simple as the sweet smell of freshly cut grass or a familiar smell that reminds you of your childhood.
Everything I've seen and done is in the past and only in my mind. The future is only in my mind as well. The present is the only thing that exists outside of time and is infinite. Stop and look at where you are and enjoy it!

Teach, Learn, Share

“... In foreign cities
we make better use of our senses, we are bolder
in our intuitions. And after the soup and the warm
tea, going out into the street, we can discover
that we are still alive and that, after all,
we have never known any other condition.
This is the hour that reveals us.
And what we call reality
heads off with us in the same direction.”

- Rui Pires Cabral
