About Me

Hello there! Always looking forward to meeting new people, experiecing the varied cultures and immersing myself in a completely new atmosphere and positivity every different country offers.

Living the Digital nomad life this year while improving myself spiritually and mentally. Learning Japanese now, after years of being an Otaku. こんにちは!

Applying the philosophy of stoicism and dharma to daily life.

About me-
こんにちは🙂 Bought a one way ticket to Japan to try and experience living here and I'm only heading off to Kochi on 2nd Nov. Was planning to stay in Airbnb but figured Couchsurfing would be more meaningful, getting to make a friend along the way. Even just meeting up would be appreciated.

I am well-versed in fitness and dieting(can even be your personal trainer if need be😌), also down to try any sports! Always looking to improve myself as a individual and for the society. Travelled a lot- Just did a 5weeks USA west coast tour+Colorado, would love to hear your travel experiences over tea or sake🙂

Well-mannered neat and tidy, also more than willing to help out with any chores or errands!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

getting to know how people live their daily live and the various way of life in different countries, not just going to marketed "tourist attractions" spots, that's travelling for me and also why I'm on couchsurf

Interests

I train almost everyday, mainly Parkour, but into climbing/gymnastics and keen on acro yoga too. Experimented with various routines such as intermittent fasting.
I bring along my Ukelele for most long travels and try to improve my skill every time🙂 Any song request?:)
I admit I do over-theorise a bit as I am a big fan of non-fiction books, but I am fascinated when learning new facts about the world and the mind!
Started Meditating daily after completing a 10day Vipassana course and trying to make it a day/night routine now!
Enjoy cooking ever since living in Melbourne for 6months prepping most of my meals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Very well versed in nutrition, dieting and fitness if any questions regarding that. Spend 2years out of the past 5years travelling too and reading lots of books so we can do information exchange 🙂

Aside from that, I'm a great company, genuine hearty conversations, fun times and games, songs and chill(on the ukelele). Also I'm down for almost anything and most willing to help in any house chores/errands maintaining/improving your house tidiness.
