Fist of all, please DO NOT send me an easy copy-and -pasted message. I can tell it, and once I did I won't bother reading it farther. Please understand that I get a lot of messages daily and need to pick up somebody who's actually interested in me as a person. Thanks! Hope this didn't make you feel bad.

So,

I am a Tokyo based photographer/artist. Simply talking, I would like to collaborate with my guests and make nice photographs and/or short films together.

If it sounds weird to you, it's ok, just leave here. But if it interested you, that's great, just send me a fun message!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's always better to spend time with a new friend rather than spending a night with nobody in a small hotel room.

And there is one more thing, which is kind of important. I'm currently working on my photo project which is to make an editorial picture of each guest I host. It doesn't matter how you look because I appreciate any kind of look one person has. I appreciate your help and am looking forward to hosting/taking a picture of you!
