CURRENT MISSION
to brush up my Chinese

ABOUT ME
I'm Wataru living in Fukuoka, working as a translator. I'm always positive and curious for everything. Like a ripple, I want to expand my domain larger and larger horizontally. However, I don't disregard deeper relationship either. So, maybe I'm acquisitive to want contradict things together. The balance between them is what I'm always thinking about. Anyway, I love music, movie, reading, exercises, traveling and so on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My friend told me about CouchSurfing when I was living in Tokyo. Then, I was sharing a house with my friends in Shimokitazawa and because we all love traveling and had extra room, we just started.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've hosted about 50 surfers in Tokyo and Fukuoka and I've couchsurfed in Sweden and Poland and would love to do it more. So many friends and so much good experiences.
