Overview
About Me
Life is a journey. Maybe the start line differs, but we’re all heading to the same destination, death. Some people pursue the social status, some people look for their life purpose, some people like to live a normal life. I respect all the lifestyles. And I choose to go for adventures, looking for new things, having new experiences, meeting new people. Following my heart, believing myself, a wonderful world is always out there waiting for me, there’s no reason not to explore. Life should be full of up and down, when it becomes flat, then it’s not living, our heartbeats are the example. There’s no can or can’t, there’s only do or not. CURRENT MISSION: travel around the world, meet CS host and stay with them as much as I can and hope to return the favor in Japan. I'm absent from home and travelling abroad. I’m sorry that I cannot host during this period.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Making new friends all around the world, experiencing the lifestyle together with local people, I travel for not only sightseeings, but also for the realities in different countries, culture, religion, politics, economy. I don’t follow travel guides or agencies, I believe local people know better. BUT one thing is that lots of people try to do business on CS, I cannot stand it because CS is not a business tool, so if you want to do business with me, please stay away.

Teach, Learn, Share
For me there is no teach or learn, give and take is not my style, I prefer share. I can share life experiences and personal opinion on various topics.
What I Can Share with Hosts
We are sharing the whole planet. Compared to that, the things I can share are just tiny as dust. I will try my best to make my guests and friends feel comfortable and happy in my home.
