°° I'm traveling to Japan for one year from 19th march 2018 in a backpacking mode with working hollyday visa

I have few goals during this journey:

Drawing , making pictures (film photography), climbing, and last but not least meet you !

I really hope to discover this country with the most perfect point of view.
I can't think of a best way to do this than with couchsurfing, I want to meet real Japanese people, style of life and culture.
Also I'm learning Japanese so I might bother you asking for translations haha, you better be prepared.

I hosted people to begin with Csing experience, so I feel like I'm very aware of the way to behave in someone's place, I won't disturb you if you're busy, but I'm trully here to meet you and share the most things we can.

To make things short, I really like meeting people, sharing things, no matter if this is just simple things or deep feelings/discussions, every connection is good to be taken.

If you want details;

I love photography (specially film photography), drawing/painting, climbing in or outdoor, books, movies, and all those things that makes you feel better when you take time for it.
I love people, I'm not quite shy, depending on the situation but I use to be quite accessible.

I love wine and food, and happen to be a "wine advisor" amongts my friends ;)

Watching this landscape, this flower blowing, this man/women talking to you his/her soul shining through those words, beeing open-minded for that kind of short moments, even though it may seem kitch, might be an everyday guideline for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosting people on couchsurfing is one of the amazing things I've done

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share you a little bit about wine / art / climbing / martial arts if we get to this.

I can't wait to discover what I will learn from others through CS

What I Can Share with Hosts

Discussions, wine&beer, meal ( I can cook !), some of those party nights it takes time to forget ( only if the occasion shows up of course ), your country, your favorites places, your friends, everything possible in a short time.
