ABOUT ME

Hello, I am an open minded person and love traveling. After working in 10 years in Japan, I decided to do whatever I would like to do, because I did not want to regret my life at the time of dying.
So first thing I would like to do is traveling South America, where I have never been before. But, doing so not in the way I have done before. Need something challenging. I did backpacking before. Driving sounds like not challenging. Bike seems too hard and needs much more than time I have expected. So these are not my choices and I decided motorcycling. This is why I have started traveling with motorcycling. Start from San Francisco and go to Ushuaia

PHILOSOPHY

Where there is a will, there is a way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One of the most excitings thing about traveling is to meet new people. For me, it is more exciting to share their cultures, thoughts and some funs than to visit historical spots or beautiful natures. Because I believe this is the best way to meet new people, I participated.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing experience was in Pusan, Korea. She showed me around the city and becomes a friend of mine now. After Pusan up to now, we met each other another two times in India and Mexico. I like this because we did not end up just meeting one time, and are able to keep friendship till now. After this one, I had other couch surfing experiences and most of the people I met through couchsurfing now become a good friend of mine. I can not wait to host them when they come to Japan next!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a volunteer work in Miyagi prefecture in Japan, where Tsunami severely hit recently. I was helping a strawberry farmer, whose greenhouses were swept away completely. In addition, his very expensive machineries became useless due to Tsunami.It seemed to me very desperate to restart his strawberry business again.
However, the farmer told me that he would never say he would give up. If said, that would make the people joining volunteers disappointed and waste their good will. It may take 3 years to ship strawberries into market again, but he never give us to do so.
I was touched by the person, who kept a strong will even in the such desperate situation and, was rather encouraged so much. This was the best experience for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am able to teach Japanese, if you are interested. Not only teaching, but able to share experiences of traveling or cooking Japanese foods. But the problem is that materials for Japanese foods are hardly found especially ingredients for Sushi..
I would like to learn Spanish, since it will help me traveling South America. I did join a language school in Xela for two weeks but, of course, not enough for me. My spanish is not so great, but I really like to talk in Spanish and do my best!
