CURRENT MISSION

Getting immersed in the Thai life!

ABOUT ME

First time doing couchsurfing! I love Thai and this is the third time I'm here. Thought I would try this couchsurfing thing a try for the first time to really get to know more about living in Thailand. Have done the usual sightseeing so I'm really here to focus on my writing.

I'm a pretty bookish but friendly dude. Being Japanese (despite not having raised there), I'd like to believe that I'm pretty courteous and considerate :p

PHILOSOPHY

When you smile at the world, the world smiles back at ya ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First time using the famous-CS. I am excited to meet local people and share my experiences as well. If this works out well, I am more than happy to offer a place to crash in my humble Melbourne abode.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Totally new to this. I've met many people that have done this (including my lovely BF) so thought of checking it out.

Interests

I love to read and write. I always try to keep an open mind and try anything once.

• writing
• sightseeing
