Hi, everyone!! thank you for reading my profile.
My name is Ken. What is about me?? Japanese, live in Tokyo, enjoying my life with travel.
I know you know Sushi, the most famous food about my country. But i wanna say, "We do not eat Sushi EVERYDAY!!" How many foreigners asked me about it before,
"Do you eat sushi everyday??"
"haha,,,,NOOOO!!"
so the best description of what about me is I AM NOT EVERYDAY-SUSHI-EATER.
And, of course, I love travel. I love people, culture, nature and every new things for me. and I love my super cute puppy, you should see the pictures!!
And these days, I started to practice cooking Japanese food. So if you want, I would like to cook it for you.
If i meet you, I wanna share my story and yours. it must be helpful for my life. im gonna try to know how people love their place. i wanna feel what people feel there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After 45 days travel around South East Asia, I decided to go study abroad when I was 21.
And I had studied in us for 9 months. It was really hard to live in the different culture and have to speak different language. When I’m in other culture, everyday is challenge. need hard work but also need to enjoy my life there. and I'm always preparing for my next travel. I'm sure I'm gonna see many amazing things during my travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

Now I'm 28. I still have to learn many things. so I'm always learning many things from my life. I think one of the best ways to learn is to talk with people as long as possible. every person has different idea, interest, knowledge. Who knows the state well?? the people live or lived there. I know my country well.I believe we can share that individual idea and knowledge through the couch surfing.
and I also want to know the traditional food in every culture.
