Hey guys.
My name is Hiroki.

I'm from Japan, and have been traveling for years now. Sometimes I'm Canada, sometimes I'm in Europe. Such a reminiscing place, Bratislava!

I have a switch that clicks me on/off, and when I'm on, I can be social and curious and all, but when I'm off, I'm, like, shut, that is, I focus on the thing I do and give off this aura that makes people go either "Are you okay?" or "Why are you upset?". Integrated, is what I am not. I'm a mess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Often, I don't have money, so I use hostels.

And then sometimes, I don't even have hostel money. So here it goes.

Still I wouldn't behave like you are a money bag if I stay at your place. I'll be nice and friendly and etc. But if you want me to shut up I'll do so. It's up to you.

Interests

What I do for fun would be thrift shopping. I like that fortune-digging sort of feeling of it. Almost all of my clothes except for underwear and socks are from there. I don't dress like hobo, though. Keeping it clean is my discipline.

I also like to just walk around the street.

Music, Movies, and Books

Have you EVER watched American Beauty? Such an epic movie.

I don't follow current music nor do I have specific orientation on my taste.
But I like Frank Sinatra and Billy Joel. They are very good. British youngster don't know Billy Joel, but when I tell them that he is American Elton John, they go "Ahhh~".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm just doing my thing, but if 5years ago me looked at the present me now, he'd be like "Wow".

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to offer what I can.
And I'd love to receive what you can offer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Air.
Room temperature.
That awkward moment when we decide to have a conversation but turns out we don't have a damn in common to talk about.
Governmental top secrets. (This is if I have one.)

I'm very private person. But I'm still on test. I even could let someone use my laptop recently, and that's new.
