A former backpacker traveled over 60 countries across the globe. However it was still not sufficient to know the world, and I owe this community a lot, so I've decided to start hosting fellow travelers. I am looking forward to talking with travelers from all over the world. Cheers:)

*To the surfers who are going to send me a request to stay
My home is about 40 mins away(Subway ride + walking) from Umeda station, which is the very center of Osaka city. Plus here is a very quiet residential area, therefore if you prefer to be surrounded by more party atmosphere, it can be just boring for you. Plus, I am occasionally away from the city and my rough schedule of each month becomes clear around every 26th of the previous month, so in case you are going to come to Osaka the next month, please keep in your mind that I can not be certain if I can host you or not till then. One more thing, please write my name in your first message at least. Message with just "Hi, how are you?" in the beginning seems pretty much Copy and Paste - made doesn't it?
I guess no host likes to be treated like that, unless you are a beautiful lady or handsome guy hahaha
In addition, I am sorry if I get back to you late. I just focus on working from time to time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met with a bunch of lovely people by using CS. It always made my travel more valuable and I do appreciate their contribution, so I have a will to give something back to this community.

Interests

My passion is consuming noodles and whiskies!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music/Norah Jones, Carol King Movies/Lars von Trier, Stanly Kubric
The latest book I l enjoyed the most was "Thinking Fast and Slow".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited all the eight working distilleries in Islay(Scotland), which is the promised land for smokey whisky lovers.

Teach, Learn, Share

CS is for travellers' community so I suppose everyone on it has interest in travel more or less. I've done backpacking for over a year across the globe so there are a lot to talk with you reading this profile I guess. Oh if you are into whiskies or noodles(especially Ramen) you'll be my buddy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook very basic Japanese dishes(mainly fried stuff like noodle or rice). Plus I can tell you about deliclious foods and drinks I've ever had and stunning sceneries I've ever seen on my travel so far!
