CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world and meeting its people every day

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Matt, but some friends here in Japan call me Masshuu. I've been living in Nagahama, Shiga-ken for almost two years, teaching English at a junior high school.

I absolutely love living in Japan. This country's sights, foods, and people are amazing. I've also been able to travel around Southeast Asia and Australia since moving here. With the time I have left in Japan, my goal is to see as much of this great country as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

"Never lose your place in the world."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just getting started!

Interests

I am not good at many things, but I like to try everything. I'm not sporty, but I play tennis and in the winter I attempt snowboarding. I'm a book nerd - I like to read about politics and history.

A perfect weekend for me is hanging out with friends at a chill bar where we can meet local people.
