CURRENT PLAN
LIVE MY LIFE
I´m writing a book about my past 6 years Journey.

LANGUAGE
I can speak three languages fluently; Japanese, German and English.
I previously learned Italian, Spanish and a little bit of French.
Languages are quite important key to get more experiences in local community, so I always tried to absorb as much knowledge about languages as I can.
I can teach Japanese of course ;) It's one of the most beautiful languages.

PASSION
Sharing Beautiful Things of the World
Stories, Pictures, Skills and Experiences

WORK
Photographer, Designer, Writer

Studying in MA Architecture at TUM.

HOBBY
cooking, drawing cycling, soccer, camping, hiking and hitchhike.
I had played football since when I was 5 years old for 14 years. My position is a goalkeeper.
I also did Boy Scout activities. The experience in Boy Scout gave me a lot of important things to live. I have 4 other housemates, but they are really easy going and open.

HOSTING
I´m living in a share hause at Oberschleißheim (20 minutes train + 10 minutes walk)
I have double size bed and sofa bed. I can offer you my sofa 😊 If you had your own towel and sleeping bag, it would be better.

STAYING
I always enjoy sharing moments with friends & hosts. I don't let you regret by letting me stay :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My Lifelong Journey began with my mother's will: "While you can have time, try to see the world as much as you can." Sadly, it was the last word that I could hear from my mother... but thanks to this word I could notice that this world was so beautiful! I'm proud of being her son.

The meeting with many wonderful friends from CS changed my life! Almost all of them shared their GREAT experiences of traveling the world and life stories. They always amaze me. I believe that CS is the best way to travel and meet people :)

I like sharing our experiences not only of traveling but also of your work, of your life... Meeting and talking with people always give me many ideas.
