I am a 29-year-old male who enjoys world traveling.
I grew up 16 years of my life in Tokyo, Japan. Then the rest of 13 years in San Francisco Bay Area.

I studied film in college. Now I work as a freelance TV/ Film camera operator.
I think of myself pretty friendly and easy-going. I love learning languages and exploring different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friend of mine told me about this website. He was traveling around the world and he just stopped by at my house.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not had any CS experience yet, but would like to use this more and get connected with others.

Interests

Film-making, watching films, writing, talking to people, dancing, singing, being in the moment between the state of Zen, hiking through mountains, nature, burning man, good cup of coffee, traveling and live like how people in the land live, experiencing new things including sexuality, cooking, reading, learning, being crazy or acting like a non-sense bullshit talking head just for fun.
