My name is Mami, but I’m not your Mommy.
I am from Gunma prefecture in Japan, a small beautiful countryside surrounded by mountains and great hot springs. I recently quit my job at a venture capital firm in Tokyo which invest and support early stage entrepreneurs (startup companies). I am now exploring the world, especially Asian countries to see unknowns. I have studied in the US for a year, and really love learning the various culture, meeting people with diverse background, and trying new things.

My favorite quote is “If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the local life, culture, and people to have more insights about the countries and regions.
