About Me

I'm a friendly and open-minded person.

I lived in Nara until 18, then in Kyoto for 7 years, in Yamaguchi 10 months, Saitama 2 months, Kanagawa 4 years, and now live Meguro, Tokyo. My area is quiet. It's two stops from Shibuya Station. There are supermarkets and a lot of restaurants nearby.
I work in Kanda, next to Tokyo Central Station.

I like to travel, and as I have visited all prefectures in Japan, I'd like to visit more foreign countries.
In fact, I was very shy in the past, I couldn't talk to others from me. In 2012, I travelled alone in Spain. It was my first time to travel alone abroad, and my first time to visit Europe. I was afraid before the trip, but after all, I really enjoyed the time talking with locals, seeing what I had never seen, driving in a different country, and so on. After that I like to travel more.

I like to eat and drink. I usually go to eat and drink in Ginza, Shinjuku, and Ebisu. So maybe I can suggest some restaurants to go if your ask to me. Also I can cook most Japanese dish by myself. So I can tell you how to cook it and we can cook together. I like Japanese food as well as Italian, Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. I like beer, sake(nihon-shu), wine. If you are intersted in sake, I have some sakes to drink with you.

I love cars. I love to go for driving with someone, seeing new cars, chatting about cars.

I've met up with Couchsurfers many times. All of them are so kind and so nice. I'd like to see more and more people.

Please feel free to contact to me. Thanks for reading my introduction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here for 3 purposes.
1, I'd like to see new people, If you just go to work and just go home, isn't is so boring? I don't like such life.
2, I'd like to improve my language skills, I can speak English, but not perfectly. I can't catch some words, and I'm not so good at expression. Also I'd like to learn another languages.
3, I'd like to know different cultures as well as my culture. I mean when a foreigner ask you something about your culture, you can notice a new point of view, then you can know more about your culture. Something which seems natural to you is not always natural to others.
