I'm an explorer at heart, currently preparing for a 4-month backpacking journey across South America 🌎
This trip is not just about visiting places, but about meeting people, sharing stories, and learning how life is lived in different corners of the world.

In the past, I backpacked across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Cuba — a journey that shaped how I see the world and people.

This time, South America is calling me.
I'm especially excited about:
• Hiking the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu 🏔
• Experiencing local cultures through homestays
• Dancing salsa & bachata in local bars 💃
• Practicing Spanish with locals
• Learning everyday life stories from people I meet

I'm the kind of traveler who:
• enjoys deep conversations about culture, life, and personal journeys
• loves outdoor adventures (trekking, gorge climbing, exploring nature)
• documents moments through photos and short videos
• respects local customs and values meaningful exchanges over quick tourism

Besides traveling, I'm also interested in psychology, human connection, and how people build meaningful lives.

I'm happy to:
• cook simple Japanese food
• exchange travel stories
• help with English or Japanese
• explore your city together

If you're open to meeting, hosting, or just grabbing a drink or dancing — I'd love to connect!

Let's create good stories together🌎

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Bungee jump
2. Ate a raw, smuggling worm with local CSs in Malaysia
3. Coaching sessions (life does change dramatically after clients found the goal one really wants to attain...!)

Teach, Learn, Share

Japanese old martial arts, Hypnosis, Go game(囲碁), Violin (scale only), How to solve Rubic Cube (3×3), Buddhism concept (in a nutshell), Japanese thought framework (How we think and see the world), Qigong ( defined as rewriting one's internal representation throughout a synesthesia on cogtitive science paradigm).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Authentic coaching theory (TPIE based). It's based on cognitive science and I'll be having an official license the end of this year. Some coaching sessions can be done without any single fee, please be my guest for this.
