Hello folks！Konitiwa🇯🇵

My name is Shuhei and I'm planning to come back to Japan in the middle of August 2025 after traveling and volunteering in the American continent for two years!
My journey wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't had the help of couchsurfers.
So, my family and I would love to host people as so many people have kindly done for me.
Looking forward to seeing you!:)

-----My life history, very briefly↓-----
・〜16 years old
An ordinary Joe who'd never been abroad.

・17 years old
My first international trip to Taiwan with money I earned at sushi restaurant, my suitcase disappeared on the first day, realising the joy of travel abroad.

・18 years old
Study abroad in Ireland for two weeks, my english didn't improve, yet I at least learned how to deal with cultural differences..and how to drink🍻

・19〜20 years old
Majoring international relations, self-study French.

・21〜21 years old
Gap year in Europe, studying French, traveling, volunteering in more than 50 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.

・22 years old
Final year of study, traveling by *Mamachari🚲 from Hokkaido to Kagoshima in Japan for 4 months.
*A bicycle moms use to go to supermarkets nearby.

・23 years old
Working at a small staffing company for hydropower plants abroad, learning basic electricity in a country where a half of employees are Pakistani.

・24 years old-present
Engaged in refugee support in Tokyo, I was supposed to do my master in Sweden or Belgium but things didn't work out.
A movie called "Secret life of Walter Mitty" made me realise I am not living for working and inspired me to travel.
So, I have decided to take a gap year and travel to places I never visited.
Starting from June 5th from San Francisco, the states to Ushuaia , Argentina by land.
