Overview
About Me
Hello travelers!
I used to travel a lot, visited many beautiful places, made lots of friends and had so much fun. These days I'm more into my own country and especially my own city - Tokyo. I really enjoy digging hidden fun places in the city and everyone is welcome to join :)
P.S. Sorry I do not host people since my apartment is too tiny to hold more than myself.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It is always fun to talk to people with different backgrounds and listen to their stories. I've seen various kinds of people in my life: photographers, researchers, fashion models, bodybuilders, medical students, singers, etc...no matter who they are, I enjoy meeting new people and I hope this website helps.
Interests
Currently I'm interested in: photography, working out, wine, and fashion. So if you're also interested in one or more of these things, let's hang out and talk over a cup of coffee or tea! (or wine, of course)
Also if you want your photos taken in Tokyo, send me a message and I might be able to arrange something. I'm not a professional photographer but know some photogenic places and I've worked with some international fashion models and singers. I also worked as an official photographer at a fashion show in London once.
But please don't expect too much because sometimes I'm too busy with my main job.
- fashion
- shopping
- traveling
- eating out
Music, Movies, and Books
Most of the time I listen to Alternative/House/Electro...but I'm down for almost every kind of music. Chvrches, Cro, Cut Copy, Delphic, The Drums, Dua Lipa, HAIM, Lykke Li, Miike Snow, The Naked And Famous, The Rakes, Soutaisei Riron, These New Puritans, Tofubeats, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Van She, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yelle
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was 19, I did a round trip in Europe and visited 11 countries. It was a lot of fun.
