About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy my freedom for the time being

ABOUT ME

I love laughing, listening to music (mainly ska and punk genres), going to live concerts & festivals, and have a drink. I'm playing the trombone, still waiting to become good, but when I reach a certain level, I'm gonna start a ska-punk band with some friends ^^. I graduated in September and currently active looking for work. I enjoy travelling to Japan to meet up with friends, but I kinda started disliking the big cities (such like Tokyo) over there. I like to relax and take things slow. And also make spontaneous road trips.

PHILOSOPHY

明日は明日の風が吹く "the wind of tomorrow will blow tomorrow", just wait and see what the next day will bring to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host 1-2 surfers at a time at my place which is near Konomiya Station, Inazawa. Usually I am pretty busy with work and might have to do overtime, but in my free time I would be glad to hang out with you. I love to meet new people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was on a roadtrip to Sweden. We stayed in Hamburg, Roskilde and Malmö. I really had a great time meeting all these people! Every host gave me a warm welcome and some of them cooked us delicious food! I really hope I can do this till the end of my days!
