Hi,
I'm Kenji from Osaka, Japan.

I quit my job to travel around the world.
I visited 26 countries in 11months. Every country was great!

Currently I stay in and out of Japan as a blogger/musician (street performing).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to learn and feel the country's culture is by staying(acting) like the locals and making local friends. Thats why Im on couchsurfing! So far it has been great.

Interests

I love drinking out, playing my acoustic guitar, and enjoying outdoor activities.

• drinking
• guitar
• drums
• cycling
• tourism

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- A cycling trip from Osaka to Fukuoka, Japan. (about 600km)

- Trekking to see the magical Ala-Kul Lake in Kyrygyzstan. It turned out to be a life-risking rock climbing at the end.

- Traveling the world with my guitar. Although it is troublesome having to carry a guitar and amp everywhere, I am glad I brought them. Music connected me to so many friends throughout the world.
