CURRENT MISSION

I'm normally based in Amsterdam but I came back to Tokyo this summer due to Covid-19. I will probably stay in Japan for a while and I would like to hang out with international people!:)

ABOUT ME

I am a documentary filmmaker and journalist in the field of sustainability and circular economy. I currently live in Amsterdam. I am passionate about spreading environmentally friendly, socially beneficial activities from Europe across the world through my films and articles.

I supported this refugee project in Berlin as a filmmaker: "The Hutto Project": www.thehuttoproject.com/

Also, I have a "Japanese Vegan Recipe" youtube channel and you may be able to try to cook some Japanese dishes from my channel:

PHILOSOPHY

- Experience plays a great role in my life. I often take a long time to consider what I really need to focus on.

- I carefully listen to the other's opinions, but I always decide with my heart at the end.

- We can learn a lot from history but it's totally non-sense to judge a person by their nationalities.

- I have never met a person so ignorant that I couldn't learn anything from the person.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In 2012, I worked at a farm as WWOOFer in Italy and Germany for each one month. During the period, I took a short trip to Zurich, and there I started using Couchsurfing. Before the first experience, I thought that CS is just a free accommodation platform. However, I realized that it's far more exciting. CS is the best way to get to know the local people and culture. Now, I can't imagine my travel without CS^^
