About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be brave enough to start something nobody has done

ABOUT ME

I am very curious person and like to know anything by doing it. I started the current job from August 2013. I was completely stranger at the beginning as I had never visited the area in my lifetime. Through my current job, I learn many thing by experiencing them. Old people especially in rural area in Japan have great skills,knowledge and experiences, which I believe is important for people today. What I like to do is to create something fun and new for the people living in the community and make the place better for next generations.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow the instinct.

Live my life as best as possible and don't regret even when I die tomorrow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I traveled alone, I sometimes stayed at the locals' house. They just let me stay after knowing there was a lonely traveler(me) in their country. Most of the hosts were Turkish and I enjoyed experiencing their real lives together like going to school,cooking local foods, attending cultural ceremony and so on.
I also have been a host of a Turkish guy when he visited Tokyo.
