CURRENT MISSION

Seize the day!

ABOUT ME

I grew up and live in Anjo, which is suburb of Nagoya (30 min by train).
I studied English and International relations at Nanzan University in Nagoya. From 2007 to 2009, I was working as a copy writer & editor at an advertisement production company.
I'm going to Nagoya University to get M.A of International Development Studies from April 2010. I hope to work as a consultant and help people suffering from poverty in the future.
I like traveling overseas but I can't be satisfied with just visiting tourist sites. I'm more interested in experiencing culture and lifestyle of other countries through communication with people living there.
I hope I can make friends with many people in the world through Couch Surfing.

PHILOSOPHY

Be honest to myself, challenge things I'm afraid of, feel grateful for everything. I believe such an attitude will make a difference in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live with my family, so I may not be able to host many people. But my family would welcome those who already have hosted or met me.
I would also love to guide you around Nagoya or have coffee.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm... nothing special.
I can see, hear, smell, speak, and feel.
Isn't it amazing?
