About Me

Most people believe that I'm a creative thinker. I like to explore alternative solutions to everything. I am usually open minded.

I like to share, and people mostly describe me as a giver person. I am mostly talkative but I would also like to listen people, give my opinion if they wish.

I have an extrovert character. I like meeting new people and I usually don't lose the friends I've made. I have a character who still keeps in touch with my old friends, whom I met maybe 15-20 years ago or forever. I never delete people from my life and strangely I always forget the bad things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people and new cultures. I believe that every person has something to teach and something to learn. Perhaps this thought brought me here at first, who knows.

And of course discovering around with locals is much more effective than discovering by yourself, why would I say no someone who would like to show me around without requesting anything more but only my friendship?

Never hosted anyone or did not stay in a couch of someone else's, I would mostly prefer meeting up, which is much more suitable for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen any kind of music depending on my mood.

Movies I like:

12 Angry Men (1957): a must-see for everyone because it warns us of the implications of ignorance, especially when it is unrecognized.
It's a Wonderful Life (1946): the film is a message in a bottle from 1946: Hold on, and don’t give up.
Grave of the Fireflies (1988): War is depicted as a horrifying force of nature, this anime is the one expresses this the best! The saddest story I have ever heard.
Dead Poets Society (1989): A beautiful coming of age story that talks about finding one’s own voice, looking for beauty in life and the power of creativity and inspiration.
Dogville (2003): For its exuberance and its difference, its devastating finale! a must see movie!

TV Series I like: Lucifer, Stranger Things, Dexter, Dark, Ozark, how I met your mother, coupling, house of the dragon
Animes I like: One Piece, One Punch Man, Spy x Family, Great Teacher Onizuka, Ousama Ranking, Kimetsu no Yaiba

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have run 120km in a trail where it takes place on an unpaved path that is completed outside in nature. yes without sleeping, in 17 hours :)

I am also a Spartan Ultra Elite Finisher, which is also one of the hardest race in the world. It requires running endurance, some strength and ability to pass obstacles!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an Engineer, actually more than one engineering degrees I have, so I have thousands of things to teach for sure, though I need to learn lots of other things from you too. I like Asian culture and their food as well, I know how to make donburi, onigiri, oyakodon and nikujaga. I am also a good cook in my opinion :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

To be honest, I do not prefer staying in a host, though If you want and like to learn, I can teach you how to cook and I am a good listener :)
