First off, on CouchSurfing, I prefer to be connected ONLY with the people I have met through this site. Thank you for respecting my personal preference.

Hosted:

a female CSer from Singapore, for 2 nights, 29 Feb. - 2 March, 2016
(She left me a nice handwritten note in the room she stayed at.)

a female CSer and 2 of her female friends from Malaysia, for 2 nights, 14 - 15 March, 2016

Meet up:

Met people from Poland, USA and Belgium in Osaka, Japan.

I cannot seem to continue to host after March, 2016.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply I seek some more truly positive encounters.

Interests

music, art and design, world cuisine and drinks, families, good friends, sitting by the rivers with my mind blank, ways to get relaxed, good weather, summer evenings, animals, nature, cities, smelling flowers, etc.

I have always had many interests but as I grow older, I try to narrow down and focus on what I especially truly like.

• arts
• design
• drinking
• flowers
• music
• rivers

Music, Movies, and Books

music:
Anything that sounds good to me. Especially, jazz piano (non-agressive type), jazz vocals (non-new), have soft spot for the Klash (RIP), SLF, the Beat (RIP) and XTC. I also adore some Japanese songs and children's songs from Africa.

movies:
Anything that seems good to me. Not much of new-ish ones, though. I also like documentaries on various topics.

books:
Anything that seems unique to me. I tend to read non-fictions more than fictions.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is a light that never goes out.
