About Me

I’d like to make friends all over the world!! Please allow me to send friend request to you... It would be great to show you around in Tokyo or somewhere if we have time;)

Currently I don’t have enough time to travel abroad but I’m planning to make it after September 2020!!

***

I love playing sports, eating, drinking and traveling.
I play badminton a few times a week. Other sports that I have tried are tennis, futsal, surfing, running, swimming or baseball.

I used to prefer staying home, studying or playing the piano until 10 years old. But as I got older, sports became more fascinating for me because I can feel a sense of achievement while learning new skills and have many relationship with different ages, countries or background.

My major was food and nutrition and one of my dreams is to make people happier and healthier through especially food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just started last week (the middle of May) after my friend told me about Couchsurfing. I'd like to see many people who are from different countries through Couchsurfing.

If I go back to Japan, I want to try hosting the guests from foreign countries.

I want to treasure every encounter as it may not come again...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've participated in full marathon for 4 times and completed them all the time. The first time was as a substitute that my male co-worker who got injured his legs because of too much practice. Then I decided to take part in it the day before two days without any practice. Up until that, the maximum length that I had run was 10 km and I thought half was good enough if I could do it. But once I started running, I could only think I really wanted to achieve this marathon 42.195km. It was beyond my imagination and so painful, but I completed it by running and walking...

The next year, I ran the same marathon again as a substitute for another male co-worker. The rest of two times, I applied by myself because I haven't beat my best record that I participated for the first time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to help someone's discovery that they didn't like in some reason. For me, I disliked playing sports, studying English, travel abroad, eating vegetables, talk to people and trying new things.

[Sports]
Badminton : I have played badminton for 10 years. I love to teach for the beginners. I want to improve more and more and continue as well!

Ping pong (mini Pong): I have a friend who is enthusiast for mini ping pong. Until i met him in Toronto, I hadn't like ping pong , but I started to play mini Pong, the difference which is smaller than normal table ...
When I helped to work on behalf of Ping Pong, there are some children who came back to play it many times and requested me to play with me again and again. I re acknowledged that I did feel delighted and have a strong desire to share the moment that the people who spend time with me and showed me their expressions and emotions.
