Hi!
I'm Taku from Japan.
I worked as a software engineer near Kyoto.
I love Kyoto and visited there almost once a week to take photos or drink Sake.

Now I'm staying in Toronto, Canada with a working holiday visa.
I love the friendly people and the rich nature in this country.

Actually, I was not interested in travelling until I was a high schooler. The cycling club which I belonged to at the university noticed me that the journey is so exciting. Now I get off the bike and travel abroad with a backpack and a camera. Even without the bike, places where I go for the first time make me excited. Meeting up with locals and travellers make me happy as I travelled with my bicycle.

My other hobby is watching Anime and Manga.
I love NARUTO, BLEACH, K-ON!, Anohana, and so on.
I'm looking forward to seeing the films of Fate/stay night released in the next year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although my membership is from 2012, I started to use Couchsurfing from this month (May, 2019)
I'd like to talk with and make friends with locals and travellers.
I hope to have good meetings with you :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

* Standing in the Uyuni salt flat mirrored the clear blue sky. That was amazing.
* The locals in Lima, Peru helped me to take the Japanese Embassy and the airport when I had trouble to have lost my cache card. I will never forget the kindness.
