CURRENT MISSION

To find a place to stay in Lyon. Then go to Oktoberfest in Germany.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Japanese guy who grew up in Canada. Now I'm back in Japan. My wife and I recently quit our jobs here to go travel for a while!

I had been working for the city tourism association as a translator, interpreter, and English teacher for a year. I quit that in April and now plan on making my own little company doing graphic design.

But before I do, I wanna go see the world with my (mostly) wonderful wife!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't believe in helping others for monetary gain. Enhancing someone's life enhances my life. Learning about the world through books and media is fine and all, but in the end 百聞は一見に如かず -> You gotta see it to believe it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As of now, I wanna stay in Lyon for a bit while my wife studies French. I wanna make friends here and then hop around Europe. One of my goal in life was to go to Oktoberfest which I will be doing very soon!

When I'm back in Okinawa in January I hope to get a bigger apartment and welcome people from around the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

NONE!

Interests

Video games and manga. Traveling and photography are some of my other hobbies, but I really like to do graphic design!

Trying to teach myself some iOS programming my rotting brain can't seem to handle it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many, but エヴァ is something I MUST write down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably drinking a shot of venomous snake sake and spewing it out instantaneously out of my nose along with my stomach acid. My body has not rejected something so hard.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely teach English and Japanese. I'm not the greatest artist but I know my way around a bunch of digital imaging software
