Considering how everyone is surprised to meet me, I should say this: I am not Japanese!

In the spirit of honesty, I'm shy and weird around new people, but I warm up fast.

I love food and I love beer. I pass the time with cartoons, video games, and horror movies. In my past lives, I wanted to be a historian or an animator.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've had some fantastic experiences couchsurfing in Europe, Egypt, and Asia. I've made some of my best friends on CS, and seen all kind of things I'd miss as a regular traveler.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: ska, punk, reggae, 30s jazz, old-timey ukulele, lots of stuff your parents liked, and stupid 90s rock for nostalgic reasons. I am a devoted mega-fan of the Slackers.

Movies: I like good horror, classic animation, Korean hyper-violent thrillers. Like everyone on earth, I also love Gibli, Pixar, and super heroes. (I hate to play this card, but I earned the superhero thing by reading X-men and the Avengers for 20 years now. So, yeah. Before it was cool. Ha.)

Books: I like the Chinese classics, depressing post-war era stuff, super hero crap, and history.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I think that one great part of traveling is meeting new and fascinating people. I've had some bizarre and wonderful times with bizarre and wonderful people in spooky bars in Manila and a falling apart old car in Alexandria.

But another thing a lot of people don't think about is the alone time. Sitting on alone on the shore and watching the sun set into the Mekong in Luang Prabang is one of my favorite memories.

教，学，和分享

I've studied Japanese for a million years, so I hope I can teach a little of that. My Korean mother is ashamed of my Korean, so you'd better not ask me to teach you it.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm new to the area myself, so I'm just as excited to go exploring as you are! I think.
