Hello ^^. Thanks for stopping by! I'll reply as soon as I can.

I'm Jin or you can also call me Jay^^
It is a great pleasure to meet you (´• ω •`)ﾉ

This world sometimes makes kindness easy to forget. I want to always remember it and be excellent to others.^^
I appreciate any loving words or romantic intentions but...Please continue the spirit and energy and original ideas of couch surfing while talking on here.

I am born in Japan but learned English in USA. I'm Filipino, Thai, and Japanese. I love all four sides of my cultures! I have traveled all over the place. I have a multi-hyphenated culture and lifestyle.
I used to work in medicine as a physician (head and neck oncology), but now I own an organic farm, some restaurants/bars, a factory, and a few other kinds of things.

Additionally, I have been working as a corporate hair model for about 10 years. I am also licensed and love to do professional racing and stunt driving for the entertainment industry whenever possible.

21 things about me:

INTP personality

Most people who meet me for the first time say that they feel like they've known me for a long time.

I give 100% to everyone even at first meeting.

I've actually never met a stranger

I'm an honest, respectful, and great listener ...but also amazing at conversation.

Been traveling for awhile and still have much to absorb and share in the world. I am like a sponge!

I'm definitely a person who dreams out loud.

I've had a tough and also fortunate life thus far.
I am currently trying to rediscover my original laughter.

A great philosopher ...when intoxicated.

Most of the time (after many ups and downs) I'm a genuine and experienced traveler NOT a tourist or foodie.

I am EXTREMELY lucky when it comes to winning items, challenges, or dodging death.

Due to above^ I am an EXTREMELY generous person.

A dreamer who has a reality that is just as good.

I like meeting new people. Everyday I try to have a full conversation with a stranger.

I make it a point to ALWAYS do something NEW every single day! Meeting people definitely fills that requirement.

I'm in a constant search for smiles
╰(*´︶`*)╯

I have a lot of energy and can eat more than an elephant. ( ´ ▽ ` )

I don't follow the rules of life. I rewrite them. The career as a culture phenomenon is not for me.

I'm pretty laid back but work hard as well.

I am blessed to have experienced what life is like to be on both the bottom and top echelons of society.

I am organic, natural, sustainable, fresh, local, and all the other trendy words people seem to like these days.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to bring people out of their comfort zone. You can meet so many people that you wouldn't be able to regularly.

I'm on here to view the world from different perspectives.
Also I think that staying in a regular hotel is OK, but where's the fun in that?

You can always gain something by sharing moments and ideas with others while traveling so why not do it!?

Teach, Learn, Share

Besides the standard "cooking food" or "teach a language" I can offer:

Crazy times and Laughter. One of the best calorie burners (^_ ^)

I can show you how to make the greatest cocktails.

I can teach you how to expertly drive a car or most things with wheels.

I can teach you how to lose your phone in every country and still get it back every single time.

I can also share with you how to run a wide variety of businesses successfully while still being happy. I own quite a few different kinds.

If you care about things like this; I can teach you how to make enough money to pay for most things in this world. (Hopefully you will use that skill for good) It's better to be fair than be a monster

Universal law is for lackeys, context is for kings. I can show you how to master this.

Also I can show you how to dance!

What I Can Share with Hosts

An amazing conversation and my unique energy!!

I have many stories to share. ^_^

I have traveled and worked in so many different areas that I can usually have an intuitive conversation with almost anyone.
