ABOUT ME

I am originally from Japan but have been living in the states for the last 16 years. I love traveling, experiencing different cultures and meeting people from all over the world. Diversity makes life much more interesting and exciting.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present moment.

One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.

Keep an open mind.

After all, we all are equal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My current apartment is very small but if you need a place to crash, you are welcome to stay!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have had only 1 couch surfer. I met Tom who was cycling across the US at a local bar where we had a CS meeting. He hadn't found a place to crash so I offered my place to stay. It turned out to be a right decision as we had a great time together.

Interests

Running, mountain biking, salsa, hiking, photography, music, movies, meditation. I'm vegan but flexible while I travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in Whistler, Canada, when I got to the end of Brandywine hike, what I saw was a breath taking, perfect scenary of beautiful alpines, a lake and meadows.

I guess I can teach some Japanese. Everything we do is learining. Everyone is a teacher.
