I just started to vlog and my YouTube channel is “Unbearable Long Journeys” https://youtu.be/X5tHM0ksssI I grew up in Japan (the south in Kyushu and also near Tokyo), then I moved to the US (I'm Japanese and American btw). I lived in Missouri, USA for a few years, and have done my studies in Brussels. Now I live nomadically in various places. I have traveled quite a bit over the past three years, but I am looking to travel even more in the coming years because you can never travel enough. I am not looking to hit tourist sites or major places, but to experience daily life with the locals in places I travel. I can confidently say that I am a truly spontaneous person addicted to adrenaline and is willing to do anything crazy/risky on the spot!
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in American Football
Fluent in English
Learning Chinese (Simplified)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I am very interested in travelling around various parts of the world, and I think it would be much better to explore an area or country with a person from that place. With the opportunity couchsurfacing gives, I think I can get an authentic experience of the place I am visiting and experience life as it is in the country instead of being a tourist. I am also interested in meeting new people from places I travel, and being with people with an open mind to creating new experiences. Looking forward to going on walks, exploring random places, and having some conversations over a cup of coffee/pint of beer! Some (partially) unrecognised countries and territories that I have visited that Couchsurfing doesn't list as an option: Catalunya I am not saying these places are real countries or not, that is for you to decide. I am just listing it because at least some people claim it to be a country. Autonomous territories I've visited: Gorno-Badakshan Karakalpakstan Ningxia Sardinia Zanzibar

Teach, Learn, Share
Teach football. I am an avid supporter of football, particularly Celtic FC. I am fluent in Japanese and English, competent in French, and am learning various languages. I am interested to learn about the daily lives of people in various areas of the world Cooking, as I cook almost everyday of the year, and I have an interest in making something new and discovering new recipes. Any adventure, even dangerous things I'm in
What I Can Share With Hosts
An experience of living in three different continents and seeing the cultural differences among the various areas. I can also share information on various academic topics since I am in to history and geography.
