About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get accepted in a oversea university for a masters degree

ABOUT ME
Currently, I reside in Tokyo (actually not, but almost! ) working for an NGO, as a member of the fair trade department.

I was born and raised in Nagasaki, the far west of Japan. I've lived a few years away from japan and it definitely opend up my world. So I might not be the typical Japanese as you expect but I do respect/love old traditions in japan. I love meeting people, trying local food, having new experiences, animals, parties, drinking blah blah blah! I consider myself easy-going, and open-minded. well, you meet me and you know!

PHILOSOPHY
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page" For me, life isn't long enough to do what I want to do with my life! traveling, learning, working... so I try to enjoy and do as much as possible. Working hard and playing hard is what I try to do all the time. Live in the moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met many lovely people through CS, and it's been great most of the time. I enjoy meeting CS members to share our experiences and exchange our culture. I learn heaps from other couch surfers and hosts :) I've been hosted in quite a lot of countries now! It's been amazing. Since I'm back in Japan, I've met some couch surfers to chat, show them around, or just have some beers together. It's nice to feel that I'm always a part of CS community. What I love the most is when I could be reunited with CS friends in a few different countries, it has happened multiple times! They visited me and I visited them, they became real good friends.

Now I organize international meetups in Tokyo/Saitama area so come see me if you're around!

Music, Movies, and Books

Any music that I can sing with it or dance with it. People ask me what type of music I like but really, I like pretty much everything. Classical to pop, jazz, reggae, and so on. Maybe not so much into techno...
Love watching movies and used to love reading books (not much recently)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

scuba diving in thailand, I was in the water 15m deep, couldn't see the bottom. I saw sunlight shining above and colorful fishes swimming around me. I could move ANYWHARE. No gravity whatsoever, other divers swimming above and below. I felt so weird but at the same time I was loving it! so looking forward to do it again!
