Hey there! I’m Jeremy, and I’m a huge music lover with eclectic tastes. You’ll often find me vibing to everything from the emotional intensity of My Chemical Romance to the smooth, mellow sounds of Joji, and the experimental guitar work of Polyphia. I think music connects people, and I love how each track has its own story—just like the different places I visit and people I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far from the people I’ve met through couchsurfing I’ve gained either new experience ( going on a remote part of Japan and interviewing people ) , new perspective ( the rainbow community ) or new knowledge ( like how muscle memory is real but it is not what people think it is )

Interests

• Music: I listen to everything from noise music like Merzbow to pop music.
• Concerts: I’m big on live music and have a soft spot for intimate venues. I’ve been lucky to watch Mac Demarco in a small venue jn Osaka.
• Deep Conversations: Whether it’s over a late-night drink or during a quiet afternoon, I love talking about life, dreams, and even philosophy. I think conversations are where real connections are built.
• Art & Expression: I appreciate any form of creative expression—whether it’s painting, writing, or even just curating a killer playlist.

• anime
• skateboarding
• linguistics
• deep conversations
• cultural exchange
• music concerts

Music, Movies, and Books

• Tyler, The Creator – “IGOR” (Album): No matter if I like it or not I keep returning to this Album every now and again. This album captures the loop of unrequited love, limerance, heartbreak, in denial, anger and negotiation and then acceptance”can we still be friends” but a small part of your heart still hopes for more than friends and the loop starts again and in the album it is symbolized by the end note of the last song and the starting note of the first song.
• Polyphia – Live at The Factory in Deep Ellum: singable guitar riff is good innit ?

Also I loooove Murakami Haruki -> Surrealism and mysticism in the mundane and everyday things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cycled Osaka - Kyoto - Osaka and Osaka - Kobe - Osaka each in 1 day.
