Hi I'm Mamoru, currently staying in Olomouc, Czech! :D
I'm a singer songwriter/guitarist, but I'm not a pretentious artist or musician. haha
I always learn something new, about life or about music, and still try to get better day by day!

I have been traveling around and doing music in different cities.
I was born in Tokyo, Japan, and grown up in Japan, HongKong, and UK.
I graduated music college in London, and also studied Astronomy in Tohoku University in Japan.
I also lived in Galway in Ireland, and Montreal in Canada, after living in UK.

I'm relaxed, uncomplicated, easy going, clean and tidy.
I studied French when I was in Montreal, but I start to forget it.... haha

I also love painting, photography, hiking and being outside. Being surrounded by nature is a great way for me to get inspired for music, and it just makes me feel good anyway!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from different cultures all over the world.
It's a great way to get in touch with like-minded, open hearted people to share some memories, to enjoy time or just to have some pints.

I've met lovely people via CS, so why not keep using it? :)

It was literally unbelievable to hear my guitar sound from TV!
