CURRENT MISSION?

Just to be happy

Hello, my name is Shogo.
I am a Japanese man living in the south part of Tokushima.
My hometown has a beautiful river, mountain, sea, small islands, and nice people.
Especially in the summer season they all become energetically great and get us excited so much.
I like to draw something like strange pictures and also like to use digital tools like Photoshop.
I learned dessin when I was in hi-school for three years and I've still kept it up in a different way. After the graduated the University of Kyoto Seika, I worked as a designer that for advertisement or making letterpress in Tokyo from 2007 to 2012. I got married to my wife Yoshiko in 2010.
While living in Tokyo, I also really enjoyed doing VJ in the nightclub or drawing pictures on a wall sometimes.
After spending five years in Tokyo, we both decided to quit our jobs and went on a travel that was our mutual dream in life because.
We spent so much precious beautiful time in several countries. Especially in Australia, we stayed there for two years and they all taught me the fundamentally important things as to be. After AUS we traveled around South East Asia or Europe and got so many unforgettable stories, nature, spirit, friends, art, religions, foods.. and I forgot that I am a Japanese, and knew I am a human.
And after super fun exciting travel for two and a half years, we back to Japan, and got started our new life.
We got a baby boy and named Taira(Tyler EN) in 2016.
So now we're dreaming for the next journey.

Because that sounds fun. And I think Couchsurfing is not to surf by a couch.
