CURRENT MISSION

Continue learning about japanese culture through the lives of children in the middle of puberty.

ABOUT ME

I like to have fun. But not too much. Sometimes.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll teach you what I know and over share what you don't know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to host more surfers, but I've had a hard time getting people out to where I live. It's far from the station and in between two major cities. It's become home though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We stayed in a few places in Romania, Hungary, Czech, Japan so on... I love hosting as well, but I tend to live in non-tourist destinations so if you want to experience what life is like outside of the electro-pop super city that is Tokyo, and you're sick of 1,000 year old temples...

Music, Movies, and Books

I found quite a few Japanese bands I like. Ska, punk, hip-hop, and this strange fusion of Japanese traditional music with hard core. I watch an average of 4 movies a week,so I have a hard time listing movies I like. I've been reading Shogun for like 2 years with other stuff in between.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking through the island of Yakushima for 6 days alone. Fighting wildfires in Colorado. Experiencing the 2011 earthquake in Japan, living with circus people. Stay with me to hear the stories.
