CURRENT MISSION

Meeting Locals when traveling and discover the world and lifestyles that expands my boundary of life.

ABOUT ME

I'm an Erasmus+ Master Student majoring in System Dynamics (EMSD) and currently living in Palermo, Italy for the enrollment in 2nd Semester. I lived in Germany for 3 years in the past and since I have several friends here, I often travel to Germany to meet them or study, as well as traveling to other countries.

I generally enjoy meeting new people and sharing experiences which provides me greater perspective of life. I also traveled and hosted in Couchsurfing, which offered me unique and nice experiences in Japan and USA.

My friends say I'm basically a serious and honest, yet very easy-going person. I like playing badminton, listening to music and doing a small excursion on my own.

Since I started working, I've been absent from CS experiences for a while.... However now that I'm back to student life, I'm trying to make the most of Couchsurfing opportunities again. Each time there's a special experience -to get a feeling as if you were living there- which is simply more than just saving money.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe there are always reasons when something happens. Everyone is existing with a great purpose, holding some kind of a mission.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, or Drinking a cup of coffee with a tourist in Palermo and help him/her to show around the neighborhood. Likewise, I'd appreciate if someone could show me around your City.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It worked pretty well when I used it in US, Germany and Japan. So many times I was inspired by the students live & manages to travel well. Also, I got chances to talk to people and gain a glimpse of a student life in a foreign country.... which is amazing. Asking Locals is the BEST way to travel meaningfully. CS allows that:)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the past, I lived in Germany once and had awesome experiences and friends there. Maybe that's why I like to travel abroad. A local Christmas Market there was so beautiful, with nice hot wine and sausages I can still remember.

In the United States, CS allowed me to enjoy having good times visiting several friends of mine as well as meeting nice locals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I can teach Japanese or talk about Japan, especially if someone is interested in Japanese language or Japanese culture.
