After graduation of university I worked for several years as roaming engineer but one day I saw Hayao Miyazaki's movie "Porco rosso" (「紅の豚」) with original soundtrack... And this became a starting point of my interest in anime, Japanese and Japanese culture. Moreover, it was very interesting for me to try to live in different country with it's own language, culture and traditions. Life's not meant to be lived in one place, I thought. So finally I gave up my work and went to Japan to study in Japanese language school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is the one of the best ways to familiarize with the local culture and traditions, to make a new friends and to widen your own horizon. When you meet a new people, your always can learn a lot of new things, just try :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
