CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet people from all over the world, sharing my knowledge of Japan and and learning about other cultures.

ABOUT ME

I have been living in Tokyo for three years, and I grew up in Kobe. I have also lived in Paris and Hawaii. I love traveling and meeting new people from different places.

I love sharing stories and I like hosting parties at my place. I like to share my knowledge of Japan and Japanese culture and in return learn about other people's lifestyles.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to gather people together from many different cultures, to learn from each other and share experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy hosting couchsurfers and showing them the sights of Tokyo. Together we make traditional Japanese dishes at home with my friends.

I like to meet a variety of interesting people from different cultures and I can give advice for travelers in Japan. Guidebooks are pretty useful but they lack the first hand information that my friends and I have.

Here are links to my profile and project for more details:

Music, Movies, and Books

I love lots of diferent types of music. In particular Reggae, R n B and Hip Hop. I like action films, natural disaster, comedy, and hollywood blockbusters. I like watching films set in other countries to expand my knowledge of different cultures.

I like to read books about cars and travelling, as well as my other interests above.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Kobe in 1995 at the time of the big earthquake. It was a life changing moment for me, making me realise that life is precious and short, and that we should live for the moment!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge of Japan and maybe teach you how to make many Japanese dishes such as Nabe, Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, and many more.
