CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy INDIA

ABOUT ME

I'm running a language institute in Gurgaon.
I want to welcome people from all over the world and have them interact with my students who mostly come from Japan.

I was born in a small town of Japan and traveled a lot both domestically and internationally for my study and business as well as vacation trips. e.g. Australia 1 year, India 6 months, Germany 1 year, South Africa... NOW BACK AGAIN IN INDIA!!!

Right after getting my Bachelor's degree, I worked for Oracle 2 years and later joined a mobile venture firm in Tokyo. I pretty much enjoyed my life in Tokyo for over 3 years, but I really needed a change - that's the reason I went to Europe.

I think I'm a very open-minded kind of person with a global mindset and it's always easy for me to get closer to new people regardless of nationality, age and gender.

I prefer hosting a small home party with my cooking rather than clubbing all night long. That's simply because I really want to enjoy conversation with my guests in a quiet place. Or am I just getting old??

PHILOSOPHY

Getting to know new people is the biggest passion in my life.

Although I was engaged in IT industry for some years, I recently switched to educational services, which has been my dream since my university time.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with some students of our school.
If time permits, I'm willing to cook for the guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Experienced hosting and visiting several times.

I didn't really expect that I could meet up with such attractive people through couch surfing.

Intereses

Playing the piano for more than 20 years and making music on a Mac as well as playing in bands.

Cooking almost everyday - Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Indian and Vietnamese. I challenge anything.

Wine - recently I've been digging Sauvignon blanc from all over the world. So far New Zealand produces best ones in my opinion.

Música, películas y libros

Love listening to club jazz, electronica and post rock.

Especially Icelandic musicians are my favorites such as bjork, sigur ros, mum and Feldberg.

As a pianist, I worship Michel Kamilo as a god.

Other favorite musicians: Mogwai, Kyte, toe, Hird and Hiromi Uehara.

I rarely watch movies nor read books.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Bomb explosion in a market just 100m ahead of me. (Delhi, India 2005)

Enseña, aprende, comparte

As a matter of course, I can teach Japanese language and culture. I think I'm one of a few Japanese guys who can clearly explain them in English - even how to make sushi!

Also you can expect to learn how to play piano and keyboards.

I love making videos as well. check out my works on vimeo,
