About Me

Hello, there! I'm Masayuki from Japan :)
I've been in Tokyo for a long time.
I stayed in United States for nine months (August, 2015~May, 2016) and in Malaysia for a month (March, 2017).
I've been working in an IT company in Tokyo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to have exposure to a lot of different cultures, by interacting with a lot of interesting people, learning wonderful things from them, and broadening my view.

Interests

To experience other cultures.
To share, to meet and exchange cultural knowledge with other travelers.
To know the different world that I haven't known yet.
All moments make me fresh, mature and fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE comics since I was a child. I have about 300 comics at home and read them every day.
I generally like books about business and like English pop songs, jazz and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That was the second day of my staying in Arizona, United States. I went to the Wallmart near my apartment to buy my everyday items and furniture. I picked a lot of stuff and waited on the line of the cashier. Then, a strange, old woman standing behind me asked me kindly whether I was a student, where I came from and so on. At that time, I was very nervous because this was my first time of living in a foreign country but I somewhat communicated with her. After talking for a while, my turn came and I was about to pay the money, then surprisingly she slowly walked to the front of me and paid my all stuff by card. I was like, "WOW!" and asking her, "What for?!" Then she, with a kind smile, told me,"It's for your new life." This is a very wonderful moment that I've experienced. I learned from the experience that nice people always act not for themselves but for others, and I wanna be like such woman.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm working in the IT company in Japan. I'm very curious about how the world has changed with the innovation. Especially, I've been catching up with the new technologies like blockchain.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot of experience in other countries, like United States, Malaysia, Cambodia, Viet nam and what I learned from them.
Or, if you want to learn Japanese, of course I can teach you.
Hopefully you can enjoy talking with me :)
