About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get lost in the world and hopefully meet some new friends along the way.

ABOUT ME

The "about you" box is so limiting, so here's the important part. I'd be happy to discuss more in person...

My passion is traveling, and I get anxiety when I'm stuck in one place. Adventure gives me a high, so I'm always looking to push myself to try something new. I've lived in a number of countries, and I hope to add to that number continuously throughout my life. I would say I'm a fun guy who is down for anything. I can be happy with a night on the town or an excursion through nature. I think meeting new people from different backgrounds is a great way to learn and grow, so this website seems like a good fit for me.

PHILOSOPHY

Just laugh when things go wrong. It's always a great story later.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My experience is minimal, but wonderful. I'm excited to open my home to others, so feel free to visit Northern Japan! If I'm here, you're welcome to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not hosted yet since my home in Japan isn't exactly the "hot spot". (Though I highly recommend visiting b/c it's the "real" Japan and it's absolutely beautiful.) I have met up with a CSer in Bangkok during my last vacation and it was one of the best experiences ever. I did not sleep on her couch, but she took my friend and I out... we liked it so much that we met up again in another city! I'm excited to host, so please visit!

Music, Movies, and Books

The list is too extensive... this is better discussed in person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went skydiving over the Swiss Alps.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a jack of all trades because I'm someone who tries everything. Therefore I've mastered nothing. In my area, if the time is right, I'd be willing to teach you snowboarding.

I want to learn everything... literally. I have too many interests for my own good.
