Hello there!

I'm Rintaro (凜太郎).

Not going to party a lot but sometimes just enjoying drinking
I prefer a calm conversation to being in a big group.
Sometimes I could be introvert a little bit and am fine with spending all day at home but try to expand and cultivate my interests by meeting people.
For me speaking English is just OK, having had academic classes in English in university.

※My flat is within 20 minutes from Shibuya station. But it cannot offer you a private room (it’s hard to find a two-room flat in Shibuya area). Check the photos in my profile. Thank you.

I've been working as a TV director since 2020.
Since my job is demanding sometimes, it could take time to respond your message. Apologies in advance.
I visit many places for work. But again, it’s demanding… 😅

I’d appreciate if you send me a message after reading through my profile. (I don’t respond to copy&paste request and I might decline without replying when being very busy. Sorry in advance.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went traveling abroad a lot as a university student, and many Couchsurfing hosts let me stay in their place, showing me around their cities and favorite places. These days I feel now it's time for me to give back to the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Drive My Car / True Detective

Books: Sand, Wind, and Stars (Antoine de Saint-Exupery) / 1984 (George Orwell) / Kafka on the Shore (Haruki Murakami) / the Silent Cry (Oe Kenzaburo)/ 東京八景 (Osamu Dazai)
I really like spending times talking about books!

Music: Bob Dylan. I'm in awe of his lyrics. He is my one and only musician. But I also appreciate other musicians like Beatles.

Practicing Dylan’s and Beatles' songs by guitar.
