Spent few years in Shanghai mainly for study. Just after got my Masters degrees on Intercultural communication, I moved to Tokyo, working at Japanese based Global Pharmaceutical company. Enjoying new life and new fresh career here in Tokyo so far.

I`m open-minded and easy-going person who really appreciate good conversation.
My current work requires me to go business trips regularly (Mainly in Osaka though). Endless business trips make me tired and never allow me to settle down but I like to go and deliver learning solutions for our clients.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

HOST: I have hosted many CSers from all over the world in Urumqi during 2010 to 2012 Summer. (Here I really have to thank my parents` support. They were always friendly to couchsurfers and cooked Uyghur dishes, played traditional music instruments with csers. And dad liked to share his homemade Alco with male csers.)
SURF: I have stayed in locals house while my travel in Turkey and met with locals/ travelers while I'm visiting places. It's always been great experience..
EVENTS: I share information, organize and attend different CS activities in Urumqi,Shanghai and as well as here in Tokyo.

Interests

I like reading, music, dancing, walking, cooking, watching tv, drinking tea, talk about various topics and learning new languages and culture. Holding almost useless passport in hand, its not easy to travel around, but really would like to meet people from different background and learn new things. And recently, I found myself complaining alot about life here in Tokyo, and my friends listen with huge interest.. hahaha.. I can talk ALOOOOT! Be aware of it.
