CURRENT MISSION

To Boldly Host People Who Have Never Been Hosted Before... or something like that

ABOUT ME

Half black/half Japanese and probably some other unidentifiable stuff in the ol' gene pool. I grew up on military bases throughout Japan and the States and now I live in Kobe where I work as a uni lecturer and work on my PhD in Japanese Politics. Don't ask why on the last, just accept that there is some reason known only to the spirits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only hosted but each and every guest was a great person with interesting life stories and just generally up for good times and making friends. This couchsurfing thing is addictive and I can't wait to actually go surfing on some couches myself.
