I am 29 years old and absolutely love Asia, especially Japan where I currently live. My life consists of sporadically changing places in the country every few weeks to a month. I work as a carpenter, painter, traveler and translator. I have been in Japan since 2015 and absolutely love it here. I love the Japanese people and Japanese culture. So friendly! I currently live out of my backpack and a few suit cases strung out in a few different locations. My home is in Niigata though I'm often in Osaka.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot between cities all over Japan. I like meeting new people and seeing things from a locals point of view. Nothing says more about a country than meeting its people :)

Interests

love the Japanese culture & language, meeting new people, traveling and seeing amazing sights! I love hiking, taking pictures and making new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lord of the Rings and lots of anime, anything by studio Gibli. Really anything with a positive and uplifting view, but especially EDM and Christian worship music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked through Hokkaido

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more Japanese and can teach English :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

A smile and my experiences of traveling through Asia and living in Hawaii. If you are ever in Myokokogen Niigata I can offer a place to stay. Eventually when I get my own place in Kanagawa I can offer a place to stay there as well :) I intend to live here in Japan for quite some time.
