I am agreeable and connect easily with people. The connection is faster with those that express their opinions freely because I like knowing other people's perspectives about life. The outdoors or indoor activities, all goes.

My basic mantra is:
“In all things purely social, we can be as separate as the five fingers, and yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.”

I prefer hosting on weekends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Going beyond the hotel rooms to interact with the local communities makes traveling more fun and beneficial. One way to interact with the locals is through Couch surfing.
I realized the benefits of extensive traveling when I studied abroad. Since then, I want to travel more and meet other travel enthusiasts and learn from the world. Traveling is a short cut to broadening one's horizon, I think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If I am the judge, then hitchhiking from Tokyo to Akita was terrific. You might have a different idea.
