COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used CS 2 times. Both of them were coffee. They were nice persons. I really appreciate them from bottom of my heart. They made me like CS. They guide me tourist attraction, delicious cafe, shopping cites and so on.
I could not enjoy like that without them.
Thank you so much, I respect their attitude.

Interests

I have countless hobbies.
Traveling, eating local food, driking, watching theater............

Recently, during my trip, I am losing myself in taking pictures.

I also like cooking. Actually I was working Japanese dining restaurant for 4 years during University student. The experience made me good at cooking.

But, to be honest, I prefer eating to cooking.
I wish I can taste local food in your country.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie
Action, comedy, love stories, human drama, fantasy, maybe everything.,,,,especially I like the movie performed by Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio.

Music
I listen everything.
Before I leave Japan, I didn't know other country song.
But now I know Thailand R&B, Turkey pop is nice.
Recently my favorite is Bruno Mars. His lyrics is simple and strong.

I like manga!
One piece, slam dunk, NANA.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Good
The experience I rode on an elephant in Thailand.
It was uncomfortable, but it was nice!

And
I could meet a lot of persons who have different background during this trip. They always gave me new values about hobby, career, and life.

Bad
No
