About Me

ABOUT ME
I am an easy-going person. I'm always cheerful and trying to be honest.
As well as all of you, CSers, I love traveling. It is definitely my life and passion.

I enjoy seeing beautiful natures, amazing histories, and getting to know different cultures.
However, the most enjoyable thing is to meet people. Lots of people who I've met through my trip have impressed me, and sometimes they changed my life and mind.

So far, I have visited about 50 countries.

[Background]
- Work for a large US based company as an IT consultant (Tokyo, Japan)
- Freelance fitness instructor/trainer; teaching aerobics, physical training etc. (Tokyo, Japan)
- Travel around the world (covered 5 continents)
- Work for a Japanese company as a business consultant (Jakarta, Indonesia)
- Come back to Japan and work as an IT/business consultant in a well-known consulting company (Osaka, Japan)

PHILOSOPHY
Life is short. Life is simple.
Travel lots of places and figure out what is my mission of my life.

Interests

GYM and TRAVEL among other things
Being healthy is my happiness. Also I love eating at the same time. Once I stay at your place, I would love to have breakfast/lunch/dinner with you sharing lots of stories.

I like reading books, cooking, meeting new people as well.
