About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Look into the well in you as hard as you can

ABOUT ME

I am an artist, love travel and enjoy meeting new people.
I enjoy excitement and surprises in every place I have visited. People, culture, foods, I love anything new!

Life is short and full of amazement while it is just
a hole of nothingness.
The important thing is to realize that things before you are just there regardless you are here or not but at the same time, you make them be there.
Line between you are nothing and you are everything is so thin.

I am looking forward to the new experience I can have through the club!

PHILOSOPHY

Just be a person without playing any roles, watch out for the cliff in front and behind you, and understand where you stand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

[2007 Jan] I have just known this couchsurfing for almost a month and this month, I hosted a girl from other club (hospitality club).
The experience turned out to be fabulous!
I enjoy having her and meeting her friends so much.
This makes me want to do the surf myself even more.

[2007 Feb]
I went to NYC and for the first time was hosted by a wonderful person I met through CS.
The room she had was cool and time we spent together was wonderful.
She was a great artist, too.
I can't wait to see her again in Japan!

In the art piece of James Turrel, I lost every sense of reality first and gradually started to gain it back, which was more than a breath-taking experience.
