About Me

Open minded, easy going, tidy, caring, considerate, intellectual. Usually I don't drink, occasionally a little, depending on the atmosphere. Tea addict. Qualified chef. Love writing rather than reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling around the world as long as possible. That is my intention. I really have no idea where/when I'm going to next except the places where my hosts would await for me (I actually use Workaway website at the same time).

My travelling has just begun at the end of June. Please let me share part of my travelling with you for a while. We all sometimes or often, need to meet someone/something new for each of us!!

Seemingly life is sometimes a bit boring on a rail of heavy routine though, life is surely amazing and wonderful in fact. We all deserve it, I believe.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music... mostly, early 80's in the UK, namely so called post punk and new wave movement.
I love classical music as well.
In these years I'm listening to Philip Glass, John Cage and Brian Eno daily. They heal me so well.

Movies... I'm very flexible.

Books... too many to tell here...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Sri Lanka, one of my friend and his friends built an house for me.
One day in Equatorial Guinea, without electricity and tap water, I cooked and served some dishes as the owner just conducted. That was a dreadful lunch time... Once in a taxi, I occasionally was sandwiched with three black guys on purpose who suddenly tried to take my bag. I made myself fell off the ground from running taxi's door then dashed into a petrol shop for help. That was a real nightmare... Nothing was reliable there where people always beware of eyes of police and soldiers.

Teach, Learn, Share

Making Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura and Other Dishes... All you can take while I'm staying at your place!!!

Of course I'm able to tell you about all Japanese stuff such as language, culture, etc,.

If you wish, let me see your daily cooking. I'm always curious about ordinary cooking from ordinary stuff by ordinary people. That is not ordinary for me as you may see.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can serve some plates of sushi for you!!! And, a lot of Interesting talk, of course!!!
