CURRENT MISSION

To introduce my country to the world

ABOUT ME

People say I am polite, easygoing, open-minded and interesting. How I would describe myself is as honest
(just can't tell lies), positive, punctual, conservative and indecisive.
Oh, I don't have a sense of humor.. it takes me forever to understand jokes (but it doesn't mean I am a boring person!). I used to be okay with 5-6 hour sleep, but now I need at least 8-10 hours.
Sorry I am not a party animal anymore.
I would love to meet new people from various background, and share our ideas. Different countries, different cultures, different food, different custom, different ideas. These are very interesting to me.

I was on my world trip from June 26, 2010 to June 25 2011. It was not an easy decision (especially because I am a JAPANESE) as I had to quit my jobs and this made my parents/relatives upset. They let me go after all, so I should make my trip even more meaningful and unforgettable, not to regret that I have made this big decision! My parents are great.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to see how people live in the country. I want to experience the culture, custom, food and drink as much as I can, because I believe this is the best way to know the real about the country. It is fun to hang out with travelers from all over the world, but I would prefer to meet locals. That is why I participate here.

I would like to get to know people who live in the city I am visiting. When I travel, I rarely have a chance to meet locals.
Same thing, I want to show you around my city when you visit Osaka. There are many things and places that you won't know without locals' tip.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was in NY, and it was an great opportunity!
