About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To taste, to touch and to feel as much as a man can (c)
To keep going along my own path in this world.
"Well, I'm gonna get through this world the best I can, if I can".

ABOUT ME

I am 28. I am an interpreter, I play guitar and make music, and I also make things happen - like organizing events or being a director in an indie band.
I feel the world and I tend to like it.

PHILOSOPHY

Agnostic in the matters of mind.
Explorer in the matters of soul.

Also.
Everybody is a person. Struggling and loving, possibly without knowing it. With one's own fears, force, love and way. I try to embrace the human beings on my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been surfing and hosting for rather a long time with no connection to this particular website, and I have surfed a couple of times through CS.

Interests

music (playing guitar + listening!), poetry, handmade things, deep talks, (self-)education, life stories, psychology, history, contact improvisation, chinese tea ceremony, singing, languages, seeing as believing in the things you see, freedom. Writing texts. Making music. Making things happen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living this life as my own.

Working on the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Watching the launches.

Two-months' trip with almost no plans and no knowledge of where I am going next.

Recording an EP with my band.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn lots of things. Especially those connected with neuroscience, yoga (and other ways of being in contact with one's body), contact improvisation, music, cooking, psychology, education and ways of doing what you do more effectively.
I have some knowledge of history (especially of the Japanese history, which is my major) and languages and can teach playing the guitar. Also, what about making some music together?

What I Can Share with Hosts

My presence and possibly my help, if needed.

Countries I’ve Visited
