Hi, I am Takuya. You can call me "tak" or whatever u want. I was born and raised in Tokyo Japan so I know a lot about Japanese culture. My parents are 100% Japanese and they don't understand any other languages except Japanese. But my brother and I have an experience in the US as an exchange so we can speak English a little bit. I like doing something new. Please teach me somethin interesting and fun!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people who have different perspectives and ideas. And I like to make good memories with strangers. When in the U.S., I met a lot of ppl who were really kind to me. From this experience, I started being interested in having conversation with foreigners!!

Interests

I love watching NBA so I know a lot about it and willing to talk about it with many ppl.
I also like to see nature, especially ocean or beautiful lake cuz I fell in love with lakes in Michigan! but
I have a love bird whose name is pikotan. It's been 12 years since he came here. I like playing with animals:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the Michigan state U.S. as an exchange for 1 year back in my high school year. During that time, I traveled in Chicago and have fan looking around the city, which was totally unforgettable in my life. Not only do I like rural areas but also I would like to stay at cities where I can have great experience with new people. So hopefully I can make good memories with hosts through couch surfing like the experience back in the exchange year!

Plus I did road trip just a week ago(Jan 29th-Feb 21, 2020), starting from NYC to California and we went to Key West which is the most souther point of the States. That trip was an amazing because there were so many interactions with locals who gave me different perspective of thinking and joys. This experience reminds me of the joys of meeting new people.
