ABOUT ME

I am: easy, serious, compulsive, demanding, perfectionist, willing, ready-to-go and wash-and-wear.

I like travel but I'm not good at it. I'm good with languages but I don't like it that much. I love watching sport, but not playing it; I like playing video games but not watching them.

I do words, not numbers.

I'm not the best with new people, but I get better with time. I love meeting people, anywhere, anytime.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short. Do what you want, because you'll never get out alive... Hurt no-one and bring the love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently hosting! Living with a friend in Yokohama and we have plenty of space and couches. Send us a message and we will try to work things out!
Our place is in Yokohama city but it is about half an hour on the train from Yokohama station, closer to Yokosuka. It is still very convenient and there is plenty of interesting stuff nearby. Kamakura is also very close!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a member of Couch Surfing and Hospitality Club for a while and found a place to stay in every second stop of my last trip. These places were always my favorites, because just visiting a place and staying with a local are two very different experiences. You learn so much more and you make new friends! What could be better?

Interests

Beaches, mountains and everything in between. Urban trekking in big cities. Shopping malls and night markets. Bargaining in foreign languages.

Nightclubs, music halls, anywhere with a PA, a good tune and a dancefloor. Bookstores and music shops, a good movie and a better conversation.

Reading, anything and everything. Big names are Jack Kerouac, George Orwell, Henry Miller and Haruki Murakami.

Music, Movies, and Books

Smashing Pumpkins, silverchair, You Am I, My Chemical Romance, LCD Soundsystem, Ben Lee, Blink-182, Taking Back Sunday. That kind of stuff.

Breakfast at Tiffany's. Favorite movie ever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept on the Great Wall of China. You're not supposed to but I did it anyway. Seeing the sun set, then rise, over the wall was spellbinding. Also, sleeping on cold stone makes you find out how much of a real man you are.

Riding motorbikes across the south cross-island highway in Taiwan is too beautiful for words.

Paris in the summer, what more is there?

Teach, Learn, Share

I like this part! I speak Japanese and know Japan inside out. Anything you ever wanted to know... And free Japanese lessons!
