I used to be a host in Tokyo but now I just moved to Frankfurt with my wife and we are setting up our new life here. It would be great to meet people as we hardly know anyone in the city yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

By sharing all I can

Interests

Inspiration, challenges, new horizons, sharing and happiness (These are the primary reasons why I am on CS.) Simple life with handmade / homemade / regional stuff rather than massproductions spread everywhere. Biking, Hiking, Cooking, Positive Psychology, Meditation, Good Movies, Good Books, Musicals, Camping, Islands, etc. I've found that doing something that makes others happy is profoundly more enjoyable than self-serving activities.
