About Me

CURRENT MISSION
to give back all the kindness and awesomeness I received when I was traveling. Be an interesting strange dude.

ABOUT ME
Hi guys:) How's your travel in Japan so far? hope you've been seeing lots of interesting and weird stuff!

I came back to Japan after 2 and half years of travel in American continent. After being stuck in covid crisis for 2 years, I moved to Malaysia. I'd like to help as many travelers as possible while I'm here just like those people who helped me without expecting anything in return.

I'm a curious guy who likes to know lots of your culture and experiences. I like to talk to people on couchsurfing because everybody has some knowledge that I can learn.
I'd like to think that I'm not a bad person but if you are not sure, or have any doubt whether I'm a serial killer or pervert, feel free to ask anybody in my friend-list or reference:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm learning so many thinngs.I've met lots of great people and still. they know about what I can be really into, what I wanted to know for a long time, what I've never heard before, what i wounldn't have known if I hadn't met them. it's amazing! so I'm also trying to give them something interesting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've stayed in many city and met great persons. Each experince is really worth and I'm truly thankful. Meeting people from around the world! Isn't it so exciting??:) I've also hosted a few surfers who hosted me once:)

Interests

I post my trip on YouTube to encourage other people to go traveling. You can check them out if you want:) >>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBRPeVZEUCWlZtpC0k_8z2Q I really enjoy watching movies and playing any sports especially snowboarding. And speaking English. I really love it cuz just being able to speak English I can communicate with millions of people from all over the world. That would've never been possible if I'd only been speaking Japanese. Isn't that awesome?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hitchhiking all the way from Bogotá to Cartagena in Colombia. The total distance was about 1100km and took me 3 days and half. 6 cars and 10 motorcycles gave me a ride.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Japanese. Or Japanese culture. It could be any categories.

***IF YOU ARE FACING A LANGUAGE PROBLEM IN JAPAN***
Touristic places may be fine but if you are going to some rural area, you may find it hard to communicate with people since not many people speak English. Try to type/write the sentences. They might not be able to understand what you say but lots of people (especially young generation) understand if it's written.

when you type/write:
- make sure to use easy English.
- use lower cases. upper case only like comic books makes Japanese people confused.
- NO CURSIVE. They might not even recognize it as English.
- clean handwriting. otherwise the same thing happens with cursive. so typing is probably the better.

good luck!:)

What I Can Share with Hosts
