About Me

I am not “a dj” my preferred name is DJ.

Easy hangouts: set a place, set a time, show up, bring a group, (at least pretend to) be a decent human being, have fun, have a laugh, say an interesting story, go to your own home after, do not die.

----------------

I'm in Tokyo June 1st, then Phuket! Might be down for day / weekend trips to places but always down for a shibuya meltdown :). I love meeting folks on here and hanging out, hopefully I can help anyone who comes to Tokyo by showing them around!

----------------

If you reading my profile because I requested you on hangouts:

- I requested you because you seem or you were doing something interesting 🤷‍♂️ I prefer to hangout with groups so if we can get 3 or more to hangout that would be epic!! ;

Guys: if you just wanna hangout with girls and you're not willing to meet with me in any capacity, please block me, save me the trouble.

Ground rules:

Everyone: Yes I'm straight, no I'm not on here for sex, but if you see someone cute while we're out i'll do my best to wing-man for you 😆 otherwise; Let's explore cities together and get some friend groups going 🙌

- I'm generally excited to try new things...minus foods usually 😅
Picky eater (Diet is mostly bacon, udon, pizza, hot pot, kbbq, bacon, ramen, kimichi fried rice, gyudon, gyoza, frozen seedless grapes (especially when drenched in wine or something), French toast, pancakes, waffles, most syrup-y foods, carbonara, sometimes salad)
I love watching movies / various TV shows / anime

Fun fact: if you're from the states, CS will charge you $60+ to verify yourself..and it renews every year.

----------

My goal is to be a CS ambassador, as well as somehow join the dev team and help with the site and the app. I won't ever ask people for reviews, but apparently more reviews means a high chance at ambassador-ship!

I love getting groups of people together and exploring⛰️ / eating / mini golfing ⛳ 🎳🎯🎱 or whatever! Let's hangout and be chill 🥳

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was visiting Europe for 6 months and while in London a couple different people told me about some cool couch surfing experiences. I am on here to hopefully find locals in the areas I will be visiting that want to hangout, and show me what life as a local is like. Being from America I have not learned much about other countries or cultures. So hopefully I can learn as much as possible (and drink a bunch too) while I am here!

Looking forward to meeting you all!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Packed up my life and traveled to a Continent I knew absolutely nothing about! 😆

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with any coding / software / web dev questions you may have?

I would love to learn more about the "daily life". What does it means to live in _____, how is it different from the US or from ______.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’ll buy breakfast lunch or dinner for both if us if it tastes great! 😊

I will usually find my own place to stay, airbnb or hotel, but would be ok spending a lot of time with people if I think they're awesome and we vibe!
