Hello my name is Hugh Yamada.
I'm originally from Japan, hoever, I've been living in the US for about 10 years now.
I studied classical music at SUNY Fredonia then switched to become a singer songwriter with an acoustic guitar.
I did cross country by bicycle in Japan for about a year and played music all over the places.
Now I'm going to do that in the United States with my music friend.
I am looking forward to explore in the USA.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me and one of my friend from college will be doing cross country in the U.S. by bicycle from Boston MA to Los Angeles CA, starting from August 15th for about 5 month.
We both are a singer songwriter.

We do have tents, sleeping bags and air bags with us. However if we can find a place to stay at someone's couch, that would be a huge help.

Thank you so much
