About Me

▼CURRENT MISSION

Distributing original Spanish organic olive oils in Japan.

D2C Brand, Unique Value, Eating as Communication Driver, Traditional Cultures, Developing Community, Degital Nature, these are my hot topics.

In the Future, I would like to create a sustainable self-supplied site designed by permaculture and technology.

And definitely, I keep traveling.

▼ABOUT ME

I'm crazy for facing anything I've never seen or heard, but the problem is I’m too shy to speak out loud, so help me to open my mind. Lol

I will travel the world again to learn a lot of different traditional cultures and ancient living techniques, and want to create Utopia.

My identity is a mix of Country Gentleman, Beauty of Use, and Permaculture. All of the three have not been sophisticated yet, though. lol Anyway, I hope my oriental philosophy based career leads me to something good for the earth and for people beyond generations and the borders.

▼PHILOSOPHY

Yoga philosophy. Essentially, we live our life for evolution and elevation, but simply speaking, I just wanna keep smiling every all the day. Hahaha, don't take it so seriously. Be relaxed. Take in breath, out. I just wanna live with a lot of natural smiles:)

Also, technically using oriental philosophies on my daily lives and jobs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just curiosity to know how locals live or what kind of views they have about their life, their society, the earth, and so on. This curiosity has lead me to participate in couchsurfing and it has worked very well so far. Meetings through couchsurfing have influenced me a lot and still keep making me grown more and more. Also, meeting up couchsurfers gives me a special moment in every case.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed about 10 places mostly in Central America. Hosted more than 20 people in Nagoya, Japan. Met up about 10 people in the world. Since then, I've got awesome keywords of "Open Mind", "Easy Going", and "Smile & Laugh".
