I just moved out of Tokyo and adjusting to new life in the countryside.
I juggle work and study: working as IT specialist and pursuing MBA. Graduating in a few months.

My hobby is exploring: new places, new cultures, new people. Each person is a universe. Different cultures, different history, different life experience - this things help me to discover new sides of our amazing planet and people.

P.S. Please, keep in mind that Couchsurfing is NOT a dating website.
