About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling as many countires as possible!

ABOUT ME

It would be nice to have a lot of friends in the world. I love traveling abroad, and have been to many places. Wishing to visit more countries to know more about world, and people. Exchange cultures and getting new people will be definitely pleasure for me. I used to stay in Indiana State during my high school year as an exchange student, which experience made me grow up and change my life a lot. I became more globalized and flexible person. Anyway, anyone who are interested in Japan, and are planning to visit Japan, I will try my best to be a good guide around here. Please feel free to mail me. Thank you :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is only one time.
Variety is the spice of life.
Experience is the best teacher.
Nothing is more precious than time.
It is never too late to learn.
Learn from past, Enjoy present, Build future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Introduce CS to my friends. Welcome, and host people from different courtiers whenever I can, and share mutual cultures, and interests. Also, I can take them around the towns in Tokyo.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I actually came to know CS through my friend in Minneapolis, and decided to join this community. Although I've not met any people from CS, and neither experienced CS yet, I have hosted some exchange students from different countries, and I also experienced home stay in the US, England, and France. Hopefully to meet more people from the world, and exchange interests, and cultures.
