I am a Japanese guy working and living in Netherlands.
Open for any experiences because that is what teaches me life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people and experience local things, like bars, clubs and nice cafes where they serve the best cup of coffee :)
Also it's always better than to stay at hotel all by yourself.
