Hey guys!

I've been living in Japan for the past 3 years and still loving every second of it! I love going out, meeting people, and just plain having fun. If you're around, let's meet up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couchsurfing experience in Tokyo when I visited for the first time 2 years ago. I had made no plans for what I was going to do once I got there; not even where I was going to stay for the night. Just bought a bus ticket, strapped on a backpack, and headed out.

To be honest, the first two days were pretty lonely since I didn't know anyone in the city. On the third day, I heard there was a CS meeting so I decided to go there to meet some new people. It was so easy to make friends there! One of them even offered me a place to stay for the night! I loved the experience so much, I decided to start hosting as soon as I got back to where I was living in Kyoto! I've since moved to Tokyo and have been really happy here!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had the rare opportunity to practice Japanese taiko drumming for 2 years while I was in Kyoto. I've even done several live performances in public!

I also worked as a 3D animator on the game "The Walking Dead" when I was working at Telltale Games. It won the Game of the Year award of 2012!

I'm the organizer of a street dance meetup group in Tokyo!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to dance so if we ever meet, I'll teach you something!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you stay with me, you'd better be prepared to chat! I like to talk about my guests' background and show people around the city. Eating, drinking, window shopping, partying, I try to make the most out of your limited time here!
