About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Follow my dream!

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer and traveller. I value relationship between people and love. I'm easygoing, but responsible. I wanna try everything I can.

I sometimes write travel stories for magazines.However, as my current mission says, I wanna write my own book of my travel stories. Nothing is decided, but I wanna believe what Paulo Coelho said in 'Alchemist'.
p.s. I hope I can send my dear hosts my book or at least magazine when it's published.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about it years ago from my classmate,but had no idea back then.
This year, I remembered it by accident, and joined this website. This is how story began!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I kinda did couchsurfing before I knew this word, it was usually friends's couch that I met from previous travel though.
In 2011 summer, I finally did official couchsurfing for 2months while I traveled around Europe. I met so many amazing hosts and other couchsurfers through here.
This was absolutely the best travel experience ever!

I enjoyed being a part of their real lives hanging out with their friends and families. The diversity from a students flat to a luxury house was interesting,too.
Most of all, the cities from their views were so diffrent from travellers' which was fascinating, because I want to see and experience more than it is written on the guide book!
