CAUTION: please read all my profile, otherwise I won't accept your request, thank you.

Hi, I'm Taishi (you can call me tai).
I'm an English teacher. I’m very open-minded and easy going. I majored in Education, Teaching English and Japanese as a second language, and Linguistics in Nagoya University of Foreign Studies.

I'm looking for a person who can put me up when i travel. I don't really care about place, I wanna visit any where.
The reason why I travel is quite simple, to meet new wonderful people, learn a lot of things, and have another point of the view.
I intend to be a Japanese teacher in overseas someday.
I was a hip hop, lock and pop dancer.
I also play some sports, especially I'm good at kinda ball games such as basketball and dodgeball.
I like cycling as well. I ride a road bike in Japan.
When I visit somewhere far from my home, I would drive 'cause I love it, too.
In natural environment, I really like cliff climbing without ropes.
I don't refuse to talk about economic issues or some other social issues though I might not express what I really wanna say.
I'm kinda unusual Japanese, Japanese don't dance but i do, Japanese don't take any risks, but I do, Japanese don't like talking about serious issues, but I do!
If you wanna talk to me, plz send me something, lets chat!!
Native in Japanese and capable of communicating in English as well.

About my place...
I live in an apartment in Okazaki which is a commuter town. You can get to the center of Nagoya in an hour by train.
My apartment is for one person, so I can't provide you a private room though, I can provide a bed for ya:)
