I am open minded person, and interested in world history, religions, languages, manners in any cultures(including Japan).
Since I wanted to explore the world and interact people more, I quit my job in Japan 2016.
I used to work in Yokohama-port as Ships Agent as arranging processes to enter and outgoing for foreign vessels for 4 years.
After I quit my job, I wanted to make one of my dream come true, working in Kibbutz in Israel.
In June 2016, I came to Israel, spent one year in Kibbutz in very south of Israel, called Samar.
While I was in Kibbutz Samar, I worked in the dates plantation, kitchen and kindergarten.
Beside works in Kibbutz, I learned Hebrew, and visited a lot of places in Israel including Palestine West Bank.

Soon, my staying in Israel will be end.... then I will jump into the world and coming to see you soon(o^^o)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why I'm on Couchsurfing??

well, it is because I can keep traveling with low cost, but Couchsurfing can give me a lot of possibilities
to interact people and see local cultures in this world.
Also, when I go back to Japan, I want to host Couchsurfer and make people enjoy Japan, and travel with joy in Japan.

So, it would be great cross cultural communication and interacting with people from all over the world through Couchsurfing.

World is Wonderful! Life is Beautiful! so Let's enjoy it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have three things I've done in my different ages.

[Childhood]
Because both of my parents love doing a lot of outdoor activities such a mountain,river, ocean activities,
I grown up very naturally with those activities.
Also, since I was little, I really loved riding bicycling, even now.
In the winter 2000, my father and me went to New Zealand for 2 weeks with our bicycles.
It was my first foreign country, see the other culture and world, and meet people.
Everything I saw was amazing and shocking.
One day, when we were heading to Lake Tekapo, the winder was too strong to ride.
So we had no way to go ahead, but only by pushing bicycle.
Suddenly, one camping car stopped and invited us to get ride to Lake Tekapo.
When they were leaving, I gave one small bag with Japanese design which my mother sew.
I said "This is Japanese present for you."
That was my very very first conversation with foreigner.
Since then, all the experience in New Zealand inspired me and opened my mind to the world until today.

[Teenage]
6 years after New Zealand, I decided to go to Finland for one year and live with local Finnish family.
Since my host brother went to Rudolf Steinar School, I also went to same school and Anthroporosophic studies.
Finland was my second shocking experience for my life, because of Finnish culture such as Sauna life,environment, and study in school.
Of course, I didn't know how to speak Finnish at all. But that situation made me feel so freedom for my life and
interested in learning Finnish and Finnish culture more and more.
This one year in Finland told me that I must see the other cultures and meet more people.

[20's]
After the college, I started working in the port of Yokohama as Ships Agent.
I learned how the Japanese society is hard to live in for me, and how much we have to sacrifice for the money.
But I always had my dream of going to Kibbutz in Israel.
So, I came to Israel and found such a beautiful and amazing Kibbutz, Samar in south of Israel.
I had such a special and unusual experience for my life through Kibbutz life.
Kibbutz Samar made my life so brilliant and meaningful, so I also tried to share Japanese cultures, too.
I had work shop of Iai-Do(Japanese sward with body movements), played film, cooked many kinds of Japanese foods, arranged Japanese summer style party for the kids and youngsters.
