I'm a Japanese (naturalized) and living in Osaka. I work as an International Relations Coordinator.

I like meeting a lot of people and know different cultures. I like talking with people, as well as listening to their stories. I like learning languages. I'm very flexible...in terms of getting along with people.

I like to travel, but not for the sake of the enjoyment of the trip. I have never gone to a place where I don't know anyone, except if it were work. Visiting friends, knowing and experience for myself their "normal" everyday life and seeing the culture not as someone who is looking from outside, but participating from the inside. To do this, I need friends of that culture. That's why I have never been to a place where I know no one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting different people and cultures and possibly getting more friends from more countries and ultimately visiting them one day.
