Hello everyone.
I’m Taichi Oku from Japan. I’m now 21 years old.
About me: Out-going, Cheerful, Easy-going, Curious to other countries people,food,cultural diversity, honest.

I’m a university student but now I’m taking a gap year and trying to travel around the world.
I’ve already been to 5th countries, South Koria, China, Thailand, Cambodia, India.
In the past, I have been to the US, the UK, and Taiwan.
I like to see new things and meet new people!
Also I like to do sports, take a walk, play games, play with animals, and so on.

Through my travels so far, I have found it fun to interact with the local people. I found this CS community is the best opportunity to do so, with meeting people living there.

I want to meet a lot of people and talk with them then I want to be exposed to new ways of thinking.
Also I want to make a lot of friends around the world.
I think it makes my life better.
I want to make unforgettable memories with you!
