About Me

I'm only here to make friends, have interesting conversations, share travel experiences, and learn about different cultures. So to those who have other things in mind (inappropriate things) please don't contact me! I don't want to sound rude but this just have to be said.

I'm a nice and friendly person but I dislike those who are inappropriate on the get-go. I have said my peace and hopefully people with ulterior motives will refrain from contacting me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS to meet people from all over the world. Someone told me that this site is a great venue to make friends and find interesting people.
And I find it to be true. So whether you are just passing by, recently moved or living in Nagoya, feel free to send me a message. :)

Strictly For Meet-Ups

While I know that this is not a typical social networking site, please bear with me if I only want to meet up, at least for now.

I know this site is designed to help travelers find a host in the country/ies they are visiting and also to interact with locals. However, I'm just not yet completely into the idea. Surfing on other people's couch/bed sounds like a unique experience but I think I have to wrap my head around it first before actually trying it. I do hope that by the time I'm ready for my first couchsurfing experience, I'll find a really nice and trust-worthy host.

So anyone who wants to meetup over coffee/tea, please don't hesitate to message me. I always love to hangout and listen to great stories.

On Being A Host

As much as I want to be a host, I can't right now since I'm still crashing at my folks apartment. So that's that. When I get my own place, then maybe I'll be open to it.

Couchsurfing Experience

Since I've joined CS, I've already met a lot of people from around the world. CS made my recent travels more memorable. All the people I've met had great travel stories to share. It was definitely a pleasure to meet and get to know each and everyone of them. I would want to meet more people through CS.

It's nice to know that there are still a lot of kind people out there who are willing to help out and even offer a place to stay to travellers. A simple act of kindness goes a long way, indeed. And I wish to return the favor by helping travellers who pass by or visit Nagoya. I may not be able to host but I'll be more than happy to meet up and show you around (given it's on a weekend).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I decided to see, experience, feel and know more about the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been living in Japan for quite sometime now and I think the knowledge I've gathered about this country will be valuable for those who wish to travel in Japan. That said, if you are planning to go to Japan, I can give you useful advice and tips on how to make the most out of your trip.
