Hi! 🙌I'm Masaya, a university student in Tokyo, Japan🇯🇵
People call me "Masa", nice to meet you!!☺️

I'm open minded and very clean/tidy person 😊
I studied English in Philippine🇵🇭 and I worked the hostel in Australia🇦🇺 with working holiday visa, and met wonderful people from all over the world.

I love hospitality job, or the job which allows me to talk with various people‼️

I'm majoring in International Tourism at my university in Japan, and I've realized that the best way to further my studies is to actually travel the world, so now I'm traveling aroumd the world for a year🌏✈️

Through this trip, I hope to learn things that cannot be learned from books and apply them to my future.
And I would love to learn together with you.

It is my dream⭐️

Anyway I'm looking forward to meeting many people and sharing wonderful memories with them!😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

WORLD TRIP🌍✈️🚌🚢
which is in progress

Now I'm traveling aroumd the world for a year.
And I'm experiencing so many new things, and it was not easy to decide to start this trip.
However, my goal for my university life is to
"see the world as much as I can as a university student".
In my opinion, I think as a student, I don't have as many things to worry about as working adults do. It means, it will be harder for me to challenge something if I start working.
So I think I should challenge something during my student life to achieve my goal!!

I would also like to deepen my learning in international tourism, my major at university, not just from books but also from my original experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

① About tourism and culture in Japan🇯🇵

I have been to most of the famous tourist spots in Japan, and I am studying the culture of those places in college, so if you are interested, I can share this.

②How to cook Japanese Ramen🍜

I worked at a very famous and popular ramen restaurant in Japan for three years. I have experience leading events and making original recipes.

And when I lived in Australia, I wanted foreign people to enjoy this Japanese ramen culture, so I made ramen while teaching them how to make it. Everyone enjoyed it.

I also made vegan ramen because I had vegan friends.

If you are interested in this, I can share this experience.

Ramen requires special and diverse ingredients.
And it can take more than 10 hours to make.
So I can't promise that I will necessarily make ramen.
