I love photograph. I view the world through my camera. I want to keep on taking beautiful pictures. I travel with my camera. It's not easy to take a good one but that makes me pursue to take another one. I consider myself fun and active person. I like cracking a joke and having a coffee. I love sports too especially lawn tennis and I also love art. The only problem that I have right now is how to start my diet since my tummy is getting bigger and bigger but it's hard because I love to cook and eat food.

I grew up in Iwate, Japan. Iwate is located East Coast and North of Japan. My hometown is called Ofunato City. My province is on the countryside and off the sea. Unfortunately, my hometown was washed out by the tsunami 6 years ago. But I am still alive and my whole family too. We survived the calamity . That tragedy changed my life and my family's lives too.

The tsunami had changed my life. I'll never forget that day. Because of that, I decided to move, find work in some other places, meet people and realized the thing that I really wanna do. PHOTOGRAPHY. This job made me travel to different places. Life is too short. Do what you love. Have fun and enjoy life. PEACE. LOVE. UNITY.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like ordinary sight seeing spots. I want to understand people's life and understand their culture deeply. I wanna interact with people. These are the things that I can't usually do much if I stay in a hotel or a guesthouse. I know I am going to learn a lot from my journey.

I wanna start producing my own photograph work. I wanna take pictures of people. For example, workers like carpenters, an artisan, fishermen, farmers, athletes and a lot more. I wanna meet people from the neighborhood. Do you know anyone? If you would like, you can introduce them to me. I'll be very happy.

I read a lot of BOOKS but almost Japanese book. Do you know Haruki Murakami? He is my favorite writer. He is very famous and he writes Pure Literature. Right now, I am currently reading about "THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X" and it's written in English. It's the very first English novel that I ever read.
