Hi :-) This is Hiro from Japan. I am a yoga and meditation practitioner and also a musician. After graduating university on study of eastern philosophy (Indian, Chinese and Japanese), I started to visit india to study sanskrit (Indian ancient language) and its philosophy(especially buddhism) and to practice yoga and meditation. It has been already more than four years since then. And to keep studying, I started to play music around to cover my expenses. I play a guitar and sings mostly folk music.
Since my childhood, I have been interested in cultures, especially music, philosophy and mythology. Though I chose my speciality in indian philosophy, am open towards different cultures from all over the world wishing to learn from them and acquire wisdom to benefit myself and others.
I used to live wildly in forests and mountains so very comfortable with nature but also like being in cities with richness of culture! So any occasion is welcome.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Beautiful people I met through travel.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am happy to share the knowledge of yoga and guitar!! For yoga, as I have been studying sanskrit to read those ancient scriptures and to understand its original roots, I am able to share some knowledge of philosophy and practices which are not well known compare to exercise aspect of yoga.
I have been also studying and practicing Buddhism. Buddhism started to gather attensions of today's world as "science of mind" rather than a religion. If you are interested in such topics, probably I will be a good company ;-)
