I'm Michi from near Kyoto.
Making events is one of my life!
Please check my event photos.
Many friends join my event regularly. So if there are no participants from couch surfing, don't worry, you can meet many locals👍
No participant fee is needed for my event! Because I'm a professional fire man and I'm not allowed to get extra income😁

Me and my younger son always misplace something, my wife and my older son always find it.

My first travel was in 1985, age14. It was two days Solo bycicle travel with no knowledge of bicycle travel, no tent, no sleeping bag, few money, no map and no internet. I got lost at midnight in a mountain.
But a couple hosted me.

In 1993, as age 22, I traveled Australia by bicycle and hitchhiking with extremely low budget. No web connection and no couch surfing. But Some locals hosted me .

After these travel, I feel stress when I can't help travellers.
